On The Road With Marge and John: On the Move

John & I will be on the move again on Monday September 3, 2007. We will be heading up to NY again to Lake George. We will spend 2 weeks there and then head towards home, ...FL.

The trip to NJ & NY has been great. We managed to see many friends & family members. Two family reunions for John. Marge got to meet some new family members.

An interesting family member from Garnerville is an astrologer. She speaks on radio shows, local http://www.rocklandworldradio.com/ & sirius radio. She also has written a few books and articles for magazines. A very interesting woman. Her name is Judi Thomases. And if any one is interested in astrology her web page is: http://www.wisdompath.com/ Judi wrote an interesting article in her monthly news letter about RV'ers. So as we are in that elite group I am going to share it with my friends & family and here it is:

RV'ing As a Sagittarius Expression

The U.S. has a Sag rising (Sibley Chart), and in keeping with that, is going mobile, taking to its wheels as a call to freedom and independence. 80-year -old single women are tooling around in motor homes, seeing the U.S. of A while hooking up with "boyfriends"here and there! (What could be more self-governing?!!) Friendships are forming and spreading, as are cultural influences. But best of all, besides the "call of the wild", RV'ers have satellite TV and Internet, wireless Internet and cell phone Internet and cell phones. Talk about "not leaving home without it" here we're taking the whole home and all its gizmo's with us! In fact, there's something called Geeks on Tour, a roving band of techies who service the RV community. Americans will always keep their identity and freedom so long as they can hit the open road, now with all their ingenious toys and luxury on board.

While visiting with Judi, I got my own star

reading. My happy dates are Nov. 11 to Nov. 26. I will soon find out. So if you would like to listen to some archives of shows the web page would be: www.rocklandworldradio.com/program/new_perspectives. You can also do a call in live: 845-290-9493 on Thursday 6-7 pm est.

I got to do my favorite thing which is line dancing. I met some very nice people. I will definitely dance with them again when I am in the area. When we get into a new area or just before we get there, I check online with my world line dance news letter to see where & when I can dance:

This year I danced in Point Pleasant, New Jersey with a group called happy dancing feet. In NY I danced at the Latin Vibe dance studio with Renatte and her girls. Renatte joined the Point Pleasant group last week and taught Show me wot u got. A very fast dance. In PA I went to the Winners Circle near Hershey PA and Low Places in Lancaster. I met up with some friends from Fl & we went dancing together in PA. I am hoping that I run into some of my new dancing buddies along the road.

John & I have gone to so many BBQ's,

I thought I was going to bust. We enjoyed them all. The food was great. Great company too.

Every thing revolves around food......

It really meant alot to both of us to see so many friends & family on this trip. Well hope to see them all soon and in good health.

Vanderbilt Mansion

While visiting with friends & family in NY, we did manage to do some sight seeing. We went to the Vanderbilt Mansion and I couldn't take any pictures inside due to flash. I tried taking some pictures without the flash but it was way to dark inside. They keep it dark to preserve the furnishing. This is a National Historic Site. Roosevelt bought it for $1.00 for the National Park System. It is the only private residence in the park system.

We also toured West Point. It has a great deal of security now, since 9/11.

West Point NY

Roosevelts home

This is Roosevelts car. The car has special equipment so he was able to drive without the use of his legs. He once took the Queen mom for a ride & she was quoted as saying the scariest thing she ever did was take a ride with Roosevelt. At the age of 39, he contracted polio. From then on he was never able to walk alone unaided. He got the virus from a boyscout outing in Bear Mt. At the time no one really knew about polio. Roosevelt led a sheltered life & wasn't exposed to the elements of Bear Mt.
