One of 54 million

I really should make a statement about how we spend our day yesterday.  We had spent the Thanksgiving days,  Tuesday through Sunday on our (almost) last trip to finish the bathroom.  I will let RM give a report on the progress there.

We left Maryland at noon on Sunday.  We then journeyed toward Ohio, sometimes at speeds of 5 mph for a few hours.  I then Googled it and found out that we were one of the 54 million people in the US who had traveled more that 50 miles from their home for this holiday.  As far as one could see, there were the white lights in three lanes coming toward us on one side and red tail lights in the three lanes ahead of us on our side.  All moving at about 5 mph, or not at all. Words cannot describe what it was like, but if I had taken pictures it would be very artistic. 

Ramblings

All I can say, is "rain, rain,and more rain".  Thank goodness I was able to mow the lawn before it started.  We have had a frost so it is not growing much.  We have become homebodies because or the rain.

I frequently say I am so happy I don't have to drive in the buggy like the Amish around here.  Sometimes you see them driving holding a big (black of course) umbrella in front of them. They are trusting the horse knows the way.

In my quest to get rid of my stuff, I have contacted several historical societies to find a home for this stove.  I would love to donate this to them. So far no takers.  This stove was in the basement of the house in Mountain Lake, Minnesota where my grandparents, then my parents, and now my brother live.  My brother did not want it.  I thought I would put it in the walkout basement of a house we were planning to build. I drove 900 miles (one way) with a trailer and brought it to Ohio.

We did not build the house were were planning to. Instead we bought the one we now live in.  So it has been in the wood room of our basement.  I really don't want to just scrap it so will keep trying.
