Solar Panels and Fun with Emily






















Terry has been busy creating a contraption that will raise the solar panels on our RV roof and put them down by pushing a toggle switch. The problem has been that it has rained and we have had some strong winds. Several times he found that he needed another bolt or part and had to drive 100 miles round trip to Des Moines to get them.

My eleven-year-old granddaughter, Emily spent a couple of days with me. We went to the Tulip Tea Room in Pella where she got to look at a whole box of tea bags to choose her tea. She says she is a tomboy but she liked the girly luncheon too.

My daughter, Karol, decided to give her niece the flute she played in high school band. Emily practiced on it most of the two days she was with me.

Mom fell on Thursday so Dad asked me to stay with mom while he went fishing with Terry on Friday, May 29. Emily won most of the games of Skipbo that we played with Mom.

Yes, the fishing was successful. Terry caught bass while dad caught blue gills.

Ron will be glad to hear Terry really is working on that contraption for the solar panels, as he would be interested in having on for the bus. Looks like you are keeping yourself busy with the grandkids!

Hugs, Sharon & Ron
