ERIE SIGNS!

We have signs-oh, yes-definite signs!   Henry J. knows that Momma Lulu is in town and is beginning the process of making his "Royal Appearance"!  Get the trumpets ready!  While we have some signs, I am not sure that we are on any timetable.  The question is-WHEN DOES POPPA BOB HEAD THIS WAY?????  I have promised to call him night or day, but as you all know it is not easy get to Erie.  I am watching and waiting and gauging when -just what day he should come!

Did a different route today getting to Erie.  Drove to Jackson (2 1/2 hrs) and caught plane which meant getting up at 4:15 (GROAN!).  Caught a SW flight that is a direct flight with one stop.  After the "Airport Olympics" that we have endured in the past to get here, this is a "Walk in the Park."  The kicker is that I then rented a car and drove the 90 miles from Buffalo to Erie-GROAN!  

My observations about the drive:  there is mile upon mile of vineyards in Western NY and Eastern PA.  A beautiful and scenic drive of rural country, I loveD seeing the area.  It reminds me a lot of the country around Waco, TX.  Low trees, but rural-the difference being that everything "Up North" is still not green-like at home.  Another observation-you have to pay a toll on the interstate in NY state to the PA state line-about 60+ miles of $3.  This interstate is a HORRIBLE road!  When you get to PA, the interstate is free and a MUCh better road!

SPLAIN THAT TO ME, LUCY!

At any rate, DELIGHTED TO BE HERE and looking forward to Henry J.'s arrival.  "COME ON DOWN HENRY-THE PRICE IS RIGHT!"
