Hot off the Press

Here's some news from Donna & Lenny from Fifth St:

We had a bit of a scare with a lump that surfaced on Lenny’s neck, he had it tested, etc and fortunately, it’s “all good”, but it is something that the doctor would like to remove. We’ll have to go to Florida for that surgery, our insurance will not pay for anything out of state. Since all the tests turned out okay, we decided to take the trip we had planned for this summer. So here’s what we’ve been doing thus far….

Lenny and I left NC on July 11^th and arrived in MA on July 13^th. Lenny told me he wouldn’t push the driving, but it’s A MAN THING, got to “make time”. We stayed at an RV park in Monson, MA and attended my 45^th class reunion in Belchertown. What fun! It was a 3-day event of laughing and eating with people that I didn’t think I’d ever remember after all these years. While in our ‘old neck of the woods’, we toured our past neighborhoods, and even after 33 years, Lenny still remembered how to get around the area. We had some of the best fruits and veggies from South Hadley, MA. Good stuff.

We left MA on July 20^th and then headed into New York. We spent the day in Elizaville, NY. What a neat place in the Hudson River Valley. We also toured the area where Chelsea Clinton is getting married – glad we didn’t decide to extend our stay in that area, we’ve heard on the news that the secret service folks are starting to arrive and the ‘lock down’ will begin shortly. The Hudson River Valley is a neat place with lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Right now we are in Milton, PA – we are eating our way to Wisconsin to see Diana & Rick Frick! By Monday, July 25^th we’ll be in the Amish area of Ohio. We plan to be there for about 4 days, and then we’ll head to Lake Huron area. We are planning to go as far west as North Dakota, and then head back home touring MN, IO, IL, KT and stop by Debbie & Kirby’s hometown. We will spend a few days with them and hope to see Carolyn & Ron Redman while in the area.

We are not on a specific time schedule, but I’m sure we’ll be back home by September, and then it’s off to Florida, to get that lump on Lenny’s neck removed.

Love to All Our Friends,

Donna Berthiaume
