I worked this morning, switched out cars, and then helped Mike P with a deal. From there I stopped at the bank, grabbed cookie ingredients from Walmart, and got a phone charger from Five Below. The new car only has Type C to Type C (no USB) – and I only had one of those, which I’m using every day.
Yes! I’m driving a 2025 Mazda and I’m excited!
After an English muffin for lunch, I went to my dentist appointment. I had a cavity filled and an impression made for the permanent bridge.
Calming scene at the dentist office. Dentist said it reminded him of Linn Run except for the stone mountain in the background!
When I got home I cut the grass. Then I did a flower walk through the yard.
The neighbor’s peonies – mine are not blooming yet.
Deep burgundy iris
Little yellow and pink flowers
Mystery flower – but delicate and beautiful!
Spider mums
Iris from the grave of Margaret Crooks (Mom’s…. grandmother?)
Dutch iris – I have these all over my yard.
So now, here is the rest of Monday for vacation. The Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center came highly recommended so we went through that late afternoon. There were a lot of displays and story boards. This was a primary field hospital for both the North and the South, and the displays described the military, religious, and medical segments of the war. We did not tour the cupola (ran out of time) but General Buford watched the first day of the battle – July 1, 1863 – from that panoramic view. It was well worth the visit.

Huge bells!
Kelly and Kathy give it perspective
Lincoln’s quote
Wounded.
Military encampment at Pennsylvania College
Fighting on the ridges
Lutheran Church on the grounds. (There’s so much more to the museum!)
To finish off the day we drove over to Tommy’s Pizza, a little local comfortable low-key place with possibly one of the best pizzas we ever had. And we played more quiz games before bed.

Rege likes sugar-free cough drops – I prefer sugar-free Jolly Ranchers! Apple pie is yummy with ice cream. I’m not a fan of watching frogs jump. Nate always love Top Gun! God bless…
