We left Minnesota Friday, July 7th at 6 am. After eight hours on the road, we stopped in Merritsville IN for the night. We texted the kids where we were and in the responses we found out that Gary's sister had gone home from the nursing home! Of course, we do not think that is a good thing, especially because of her hip, but time will tell.
We arrived in Boardman at 12:30 on Saturday, stopped at the grocery store for a few things and let everyone know that we had arrived. Victor came over to the condo for a visit and updates on Janet.
Sunday am we got up to the call from Janet that she needed to go to the emergency room as she was unable to breathe well. So instead of church, we spend much of the day at the hospital until they took her from the ER to a room. How long will this last or where will they decide she needs to go, who knows!!
All we know for sure is that we will leave for Minnesota when the garage calls that the motorhome repair is finished. We know that they will want paid then and it is not going to be cheap!!
Shortly after that we plan to head on west to Glacier National Park. This is the second year that this has been planned. So we hope for success this time!!
July 4th, we had Ben come to the motorhome for a picnic.
I had to make some of his favorite foods one time. It was better than eating out all of the time. We sent more than half of it home with him so that he had meals for the rest of the week. I had been trying to get his curtains done at the apartment. We got them hung and then I went back and ironed. Now I just have to go back to make a small curtain to put in the living room skylight to cut down on the bright sun and heat. I'll go taking my sewing machine with me.
Gary had spent one morning working on the bottom of the bedroom slide. It seems that we should not be needing these repairs, but then it is eleven years old and we have had it on the road much of nine years. Anyway, that morning I was standing close by to be his gopher when I began to feel light headed. I made it to the picnic table to sit down. Almost landed on the ground, but I came back around and Gary got me something to eat. We are not sure if it was low blood sugar, but probably low blood pressure. We did not think to take the blood sugar test right then. Oh well, hope that it won't happen again!!
While waiting around for the the results on the motorhome, we did a lot of thrift store window shopping and stopped in a cemetery to read a while in the shade. This was in Faribault, MN and guess who's name we found on one of the headstones

| Richard, did you know that you had relatives here? |
Looks like it is being used well this year!! We have never tried it yet. Don't know if I will take the time this trip. We will do some visiting around.
Gary went to breakfast with his friend, Rick already and I will be going to dinner this evening with my friend, Louise. And we made a visit to Richard's on Sunday afternoon. So that takes care of some visiting.
Gary is now making reservations in MN for the duration between the repair and the beginning of our trip on west. So we will have a few more visits with Ben.
You are having an awesome summer here in Ohio also. Forecast for much of this week is rain, but sunny so far today.
Take care and try to stay dry!!
