OK, so we got started a little bit later than we planned to yesterday. Who knew that after not being used for two years our Garmin would lose it's connection to my Bluetooth headset? So we grabbed the manual for the headsets, connected the Garmin and left 20 minutes late.The first stop was at Hearne Hardwoods, in Oxford, PA. If you ever want to see a REAL lumber yard with AMAZING wood, you have to go here. It was HUGE - barns stacked with lumber (all carefully labelled). We were both in awe of the size of the place. And the equipment was mammoth, too. These pictures will put the size into perspective.
The next stop was at Cumberland Cemetery to visit Mom and Dad. It had been a while since we'd been up. We were glad to see that the family plot continues to be well maintained.
This day's journey ended with a visit with Neha and Shantanu. Neha made us some wonderful Indian tea. I definitely need the recipe for this one. They are expecting their first child in a few weeks. They are a lovely couple with whom we enjoy spending time.
Oh, along the way we did pass three Harley dealerships. We stopped at the first one to buy gators (no, not the kind Brint plays with!). These are rain "boots" designed to cover the top of our boots when its raining. Although we have our rain suits with us - the pants don't prevent water from seeping into the boot through the laces. In MY mind, buying these will be like bringing an umbrella when you think it is going to rain - that is to say, because we are prepared for rain, it won't! Although right now the weather forecast isn't looking like it's supporting my theory too much...
Lesson learned - pay attention to where you book your reservations! It was impossible to check into the Hampton Inn ... because I made my reservations with the Fairfield Inn across the street.
