Finally, an up-date! It's about time!!

This past year I was teaching full time...that is my excuse. And this summer I was spending a lot of time fixing computers, cars, and my house. But I have returned...or as we like to say " I'm BACH...Galebach"

First stop other than for gas or motel--Memphis...you know the Pyramids and Ramses in Egypt. It looked like this place is closed.

The King welcomed me to the Visitor Center as you cross the Mississippi River.

I crossed Tennessee and drove up through Virginia and West Virginia and spent the night at Jessica's house in Maryland with my other sister, Chanda, while Jess and George were at Virginia Beach. Chanda went home and Jess and George came home and I stayed one more day to visit with them and use their hot tub--no pictures of that, just some of her flowers.My next few days were spent in Penryn at Chanda's house. She had lots of butterflies flitting about right outside her front window.

In our travels we drove by these sunflowers just south of Sporting Hill. They were also on the front page of the Lancaster Newspaper a day or two later. Not my pictures but they must have stood on the same spot.

Chanda and I visited her old home, back when she had so many kids she didn't know what to do. It is near York, just off of Route 30. We weren't able to get inside though; they must have changed the locks.

And of course when I went with Ilene to the Poconos for a few days we saw some nice looking deer. One evening we saw 34.

The day we stopped at the old lady's shoe house we also came back through Wrightsville along the old route 30 and I stopped and took a few pictures of the bridge. The new Rte. 30 bridge, which goes from Columbia to Wrightsville across the Susquehanna River, York to Lancaster Counties, can barely be seen under the arches and the little islands of green behind this bridge are from a previous bridge, maybe the one burnt during the Civil War (?).

Stay tuned. More to come, later. The Pianos of Lancaster. Which will be before this if you are looking at this after I do that blog. Also Chincoteague is another coming attraction, although it is really an annual affair.
