PENNSYLVANIA TRIP O7

We made a trip to Pennsylvania to see Bob's parents. This was the beautiful color we saw in Sunbury.
This is the steeple of the church that Bob took organ lessons on when he was a little boy.You can't tell - but it was FREEZING taking this picture! Bob offered to help his Dad cover their air conditioners. WINTERIZING!!! "Now I don't need to be bossy Bobby, but you have to do it this way"!!
Aren't they cute!! This is cousin Cheri. She made us lunch one day. Beef and noodles. YUMMY! Since Bob doesn't have siblings, (despite what he may have told many of you through the years) his cousins are like his sisters and brothers. We love them. And you would love them all! And I'm sure we'll have repercussions from only Cheri being in the picture! Sorry other cousins! Believe it or not, Bob's parents still have a coal furnace. This is the almost empty coal bin. They were waiting for several days for the truck to arrive to replenish.
And alas it came! They put this shoot down into a basement window and let the coal go! They ordered 4 tons!!Coal bin is now full. See at the bottom of the bin? That's where Bob's Dad shovels the coal out and puts it in the furnace.Here's the furnace all fired up! Imagine having to shovel, rake, stoke the fire all through the day! Ties you down!Here's the Kerstetters. They are so sweet and his Dad didn't expect this kiss of course. We actually went to celebrate Dad Kerstetter's 77th birthday. The Pennsylvania Kerstetters!!We had to make sure the million dollar grandson made it in the picture!

Wow! Bob, your parents look great!
However, I do not envy having to take care of a furnace. Sometimes turning on the gas logs is a chore. Ha! Ha!
