Late Sunday morning. You are sitting at the breakfast table looking
west. Carol and Kim are cutting and pealing apples to bake in a pie. Owen and
Paul are sitting in the living room working on a project, Brennan looking for
his Mac, i.e. “Cars”, truck. This is after breakfast and opening presents from
you and Carol as well as exchanging with Kim and Paul.
On
Friday, Craig and Alta arrived from visiting friends in Columbus. Everyone
elected to go to Longhorn and enjoyed the tasty cuisine from the lunch menu. During
the afternoon chats at home Craig hit upon a road trip to Seattle and Vancouver,
but you four eventually narrowed it down to Yellowstone, the Grand Teton and
Colorado. For example they may drive up to Denver, leave their car at the
airport car park and take your car for the adventures. Then eventually head
home your separate ways sometime in early June while it is still late Spring in
the mountains. Carol had a salad, meatloaf, veggies, and bake potatoes for
supper – dessert at Graeter’s later. There was a lot of good and fun conversation
during the day and evening, capping it off with the latest “Elementary” (a
favorite). After breakfast they left for Craig’s sister’s (Kim) horse farm near
Springfield. Today they were to leave Ohio for Chicago and Eric, Mary Kay, Jack
and Matt. At least it is sunny for a change and they have the sun to their back
on the drive. Later, dude. – Amorella
1111 hours. Arriving
last night we met everyone at Max and Erma’s for supper. Owen was really
pumped. They had been downtown to the main branch of the Columbus Public
Library, one of my favorite places once I had my driver’s license and car. Owen proudly showed me his new (his
own) library card. He even signed his name on the back of the card himself. I
think I was even more excited than he was. I remember getting my first library
card. There was nothing else like it. As a kid one the best things in the world
was the adventure to the local library. Although I had been to the OSU library
several times I never visited the Columbus Main until I was in high school and
Brennan and Owen are two and four. How cool is that – four years old with your
first library card!
