BACK IN OHIO FOR VISITS!!

On Monday evening, September 28th we drove to Marion, Indiana to check out my niece's new home.  We took picnic left overs and added it to Debbie's pulled pork and ate dinner with them. We were so glad to check out the house and to have a short visit. When we arrived Tracy was busy mowing and in a race with daylight.

Damon is now away in Michigan for school.

Awesome and so nice to have all of the land.

Beautiful kitchen with hickory floor!

restored.  It had been one that Debbie's father, Ted,.used.

Tuesday, September 29th, we left Indiana with very cloudy skies but no rain yet!!  We did run into some but only for a short while.After arriving in Columbus and an afternoon of rest, we met with RVing friends in Canal Winchester.

Sorry, though I had my camera, I forgot to use it.
So this is an older photo of Bette and Bill.

They had invited us for dinner and an evening of games. It was yummy chili, Bette!! And we enjoyed the games of Sequence. Sorry that Bill is not doing so well right now. We will pray for that to change for the better. We first met Bill and Bette in Canal Fulton OH in 2007. Keeping in contact with them by e-mail and phone, we have since met up with them in Apache Junction AZ a few times and in Ohio. Because of health they have stopped traveling. I am sure that they miss it, but we all will reach that sometime, I suppose.
The next morning we went northwest of Columbus, near Powell to see a dear Salem Ohio friend, Marian.  It was so good to see her and visit for a few hours.  She treated us to a scrumptious breakfast!! She and her husband were very involved with Boy Scouts in Salem when our boys were working on their Eagles. She is now living across the street from her daughter and son-in-law, Shelly and John.

So nice!!

Marian, it was wonderful and we promise to stop again when we have time while traveling through there. Take care and God Bless!!
We noticed as we drove that the trees are beginning to look like fall. We just hope that winter does not arrive until the first of the year.  ?????

We are just getting settled in at Victor's and will begin to work at emptying Ben's apartment at Chippewa next week, since he only had a week to get to Minnesota and find an apartment there. Not sure when or how he is going to get his stuff. But that will be his problem.  We will be able to take some of it with us next summer when we travel the northern central states.
Take care now and hope to see many of you Ohio friends and relatives soon.
