They are doing construction right next to our campground. Today they are blasting out some rocks. What a sensation - our campsite is on top of a large cliff, probably 40 ft down to a creek at the bottom .There are what appears to be caves but are actually old mines that collapsed in 1910, with openings in the hillside. Not a good feeling when the whole thing is shaking under us, knowing it is rather unstable in the first place. I just asked my DH if we have subsidence insurance on this camper. he said , don't worry if this hillside goes we will be dead and our funerals are already paid for. OK then.

Your husband sounds like a very practical man!

He just said "I told you it is bad karma to preplan funerals" as yet another big jolt came. We are going out to dinner and by the time we get back they should be gone for today. I guess if it's not one thing it's another.

There was a blast when I was in the shower and I had to hold onto the shower head to keep my balance.

There's nothing like a calm, peaceful, quiet vacation.

151949, just want to tell you that I think you start the most interesting topics. Also love your husbands humor and responses. Hope your summer home stays in one piece. Stay safe and hope this weather stays decent so that you have a nice vacation here. I don't know about you but I don't think I live that far from you but we are not really enjoying sitting out on our deck this summer. By 8pm it is really chilly so in the house we come.

All of June we were up on Lake Chatuagga in New York. Enjoying the wine country. Then we travelled a bit so we haven't been here in the Pitts. area for long. We actually had better june weather than Pittss did. Not perfect , but better. Now we are here and the weather seems to be more like Sept. than August. I have a feeling we will be going home to Florida early this year.

We are enjoying the Pirates this year and looking forward to seeing some Steelers before we go home. We miss the enthusism for sports teams that we have here. I'm pretty sure DH is going to a Steelers game on Aug 23. with one of his buddies.

Glad that you are enjoying watching the Pirates. Hope they continue playing well. I just finished watching the special on channel 11 about Jerome Bettis. We recorded the KDKA special but the channel 11 was on for one hour. There are going to be more coverage on Jerome tomorrow so I will be watching as much as I can. Do you remember when Jerome father passed away? I guess I am going to have to look it up. So much excitement over Jerome going into the Football Hall of Fame. It will be nice if your husband gets to go to the Steeler game. My cousin has season tickets and never ever no matter what is going on will miss a game. He is there for every game. As you can tell we are not sitting out side tonight.
