Today finds us back in Indiana after a 10 hour drive from Ellicott City, Maryland yesterday. Along the way we stopped in Frederick, Maryland to visit McCutcheons ( http://www.mccutcheons.com/index.php ) to purchase some of their sauces and relishes. Then we stopped at Hepburns Orchards ( http://hepburns.com/ ) to purchase some of their pies to bring back to family here.
As we were passing thru Celina, Ohio, around 6 PM last night we received a call from my parents notifying me that my uncle, Thomas Niblick, had died around 4 PM at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne where he had been a patient since Monday of last week. During that time he had undergone four surgeries and at 83 just wasn't strong enough to endure the stress that puts on the body.
The funeral is scheduled for Friday so we will not be heading home until Sunday or later.
I have been watching the coverage of Hurricane Dolly as it comes ashore in Texas today. Sounds as if they are getting hit quite hard and there is going to be a lot of damage in the areas of Texas touched by the storm. Until now much of Texas was in a drought so hopefully this will help that situation. According to the weather radars we should be getting some rain from the storm at home in Sulphur. Just talked to Ian and he said that so far he had seen nothing but light rain at his apartment.
