You can never go home again. Our home no longer exists in York, but many fine memories do. We are engaged in a whirlwind visit to Chuck's parents, to dentist, opticians, a tire shop, and friends. All good during this lovely time of the Year in southcentral Pennsylvania.

We drove Thursday evening and all day Friday from Sylva to Princeton to visit Chuck's sister and our children.All are well. We enjoyed a beer and ice cream in artsy Lambertsville, NJ on the Delaware River with our children.

On Sunday we arrived in York after short stops for birds at Middle Creek Wildlife Mangement Area to see bobolinks, willow flycatchers, and a Pennsylvania eagle. We are enjoying a stay with Mom & Dad Strehl. This morning we will visit the Central Market House to buy some "organic" granola and fixings for a dinner or two. We drove past our old house which looks fine. We still have friends to visit and various chores to accomplish before moving on to near Gettysburg latter in the week to visit our hiking buddies. Saturday we will be returning toward Carolina. Yesterday we accomplished the necessary stop at our storage locker to obtain essentials for our stay in a house the rest of this year.

All is well.
