July 6th, Friday – Goodbye Vermont, Hello New York

Sometimes they get it right, but I wish they had been wrong.  I’m talking about the weather report.  They said it was going to rain Friday morning and it was when we woke up.  Yet, thankfully, it ended by the time we needed to get on the road.

Per our usual method of operation, we were on the road by 10 am.  The skies had cleared, the sun was beginning to come out, but the wind, oh the wind, was really blowing.  It was wasn’t that bad until we were on the interstate and then we felt it big time.  Yet, overall, it was an easy trip.  A lot of mountains to climb but Graybeard handled each and every one of them without a problem.

We were eager to get to our new home for we knew who was there waiting for us – my sister and her husband and my mom who had flown up from North Carolina.  Knowing this made the miles just sort of fly by.

In due time, we were there.  We’re at the Iron City campground in Lyon Mountain, New York.  Pictures of our new home will be posted tomorrow.  We have a nice site, grass, reasonably level, full hookup.  We were thrilled when we discovered that it appeared we were going to be able to get some over the air TV channels.  Until we discovered that they were in French!

Our first night was spent visiting my sister at her new cabin on Chazy Lake.  It is a beautiful and cozy place and my sister, as always, was the gracious and hospitable host.  The visit was made even better by the fact that my mom was there.  Time with family is so precious so I’m cherishing these next few days that we’ll be able to spend together.

Well, enough for now.  Just wanted to let every one know we are safe and sound at our new home.  We’ll spend Saturday getting settled in and doing some shopping.  Then in the evening we’ll get together as a family once again.  Yea!

Oh, one little interesting fact.  Remember yesterday it was a record 91 degrees?  When we got here the temperature was 69 degrees!  The temperature during the evening was supposed to go down into the 40’s.  Guess we’ll have to pull our blankets out once again.

As always,  if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries, let me suggest that you turn them over to God.  After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.

Time now for our evening prayers and eventually some shut-eye.  Till tomorrow.

These are the voyages of  Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans.  Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
