Hi Everyone,

It's me again! I made it safely to Marietta, PA and had a wonderful welcome from Steve and Madeline! On my first day here Steve took me all around Marrietta in his truck. The town was great! And I even got to see the Susquehanna River! After the site seeing we stopped by the country store to get some goodies for my stay

Steve was so nice, he even taped our whole outing and sent a copy to my mommy so that she could see what a great time I was having. I like Steve, he's the best! That night I got to stay in the "Mouse House Tavern", wow was that a treat! the bed was so cozy, it was definitely a nice change after traveling so long in that box!

I got up in the middle of the night needing to go potty really bad.... to my surprise their was no bathroom in the tavern! I looked out my window to see an outhouse! AN OUTHOUSE! I'm definitely a long way from my southern Cali apartment that's for sure! I ran outside quickly so no one would see me. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought... but i think i like regular bathrooms better.

In the morning I ate breakfast at the restaurant. I had bacon, eggs, sausage, homes fries, toast and tea! I was VERY HUNGRY! I think Steve was very surprised at my big appetite!

After breakfast I got to stop by the Barber's, the local fire station, and then I got to visit the wizards tree house! Wow was that ever a treat! Steve has done such a great job on it

My stay at Steve's ended so fast! I had such a great time I didn't want to leave. But now its time to hop over to the other side of the border... It's Canada or bust! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Love,

Thelma

P.S. Oh I almost forgot! Steve made me this awesome bed! and Madeline crocheted me a blanket and a pillow to go with it. I love it! I am really traveling in style now! Thank you so much Steve and Madeline
