ROLLING VS. ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES!

It’s been an interesting few weeks back in PA. Because of Yoshi's surgery and recovery, we ended up extending our time in the area. Yesterday he got a clean bill of health from Dr. Sadanaga at VRC in Malvern. We told him that Yoshi had a blog so he better get it right! Hi stitches would rival anything in my quilt guild! As it turns out Yoshi's tumor was not cancer, lucky little doggie, but it's out all the same.

While I was in the region I had the opportunity to attend a number of DBE (Daughters of the British Empire) events, including the Pennsylvania State Cocktail Party, The Annapolis Fashion Show and the NJ State Luncheon. All lovely events and a good deal of money raised for The Victoria Home in Ossining NY.

We spent our last weekend at the Jersey Shore.  On Friday we visited with Sister James Dolores at Villa Maria by the Sea, the IHM Retreat House in Stone Harbor. Sister James taught at Villa Maria Oak Lawn in Lynchburg Virginia from 1958 to 1966, where my sister and I both graduated.  Sister James is affectionately termed the Mayor of Stone Harbor and is perhaps best known locally for the fundraiser & surfing competition held each year on the “Nun’s Beach” in front of the Retreat House. We were absolutely “wow-ed” by the renovations that she has managed to accomplish over the last 13 years in full-time residence at the shore. She hopes to re-dedicate the newly renovated Chapel next spring upon completion of the stained glass windows rejuvenation and painting.

We set out yesterday for SC but alas, on the beltway in DC the alternator on the MoHo failed. We managed to get it to a Cummins shop in Manassas and by the end of the day today we were back on the road, albeit a day behind schedule.

Tomorrow we will pick up Sarah at the airport in Columbia and join our friends for some Thanksgiving cheer before heading to Myrtle Beach for some golf and hot-tub time at the Marriott Ocean Watch, but more on that later.

We have learned by now that full-time RVing is as much “rolling with the punches” as it is rolling on the road!  Both are part of the experience to be savored.  To our friends, family and fellow RVers, we hope you are spending Thanksgiving in good company enjoying the good life!

On the Road Again!
