VACATION DAYS

I think Dad was really anxious and excited to get to his house and see the old place. When he first walked in he didn't recognize it right off. I understand that because when I am at his house for 4 months at a time, I get home and it all looks so strange at first. He took the tour of the whole house and then it all came back to him quickly he said. He seemed relieved that all those dreams about the changes or destruction to the house were not really true.
The first few days were spent at a Drs appt I had set up from my home. Then came the first visits with his girlfriend. I was surprised he didn't get a big hug and kiss right there on the sidewalk but that's just me I guess....and that generation didn't show a lot of affection publicly I suppose.
He visited with a couple of his other friends on the first weekend while my sister stayed with him. Rod and I went to my 40th Class Reunion on the next night after we got here {a Friday} and then again for more of the get together on Saturday.

Rod just had a week here so it went really fast with him trying to get one of Dad's old cars started. Only to find out that he had to change fuel lines that had deteriorated away and that the fuel pump had old parts to it. So we didn't get it started like Dad and Rod wanted and a new fuel pump is on order. Rod never got a real chance to get the other car started spending so much time on the first one. He will be back in August so we will get them both going before we leave once again. Dad wants the cars with us but that will be on the next trip back to his house. We have much to do before all is moved.

I think Dad is getting somewhat bored now getting into the beginning of the third week here. I am not going to speak for him but I think there is some disappointments.
Rod and Dad did got to his breakfast with the fellows from his work. They all have retired of course but they still meet for breakfast. I think Dad was very tickled about the fact they all came together once again for DAD because the breakfast get together has nearly disappeared. One of the guys told me that as long as Dad was in town they would get together each week.

Now to the photos for now....I will catch up to important happenings later as I get more computer time.
