We have spent the past week and this week visiting with friends and family whom we had not yet visited this time around.
Friday, May 12th we met with Victor and his former co-worker, Mike, and wife, Judy, at Stage Coach Restaurant in North Georgetown for their famous fish. This time I did the broiled instead of deep fried and found it to be great!! I will continue to order that there! We had a great visit with Mike and Judy and look forward to doing the same next time in Ohio.
Saturday, May 13th was to be our Mother's Day celebration at Longhorn Steakhouse.

My next two days were spent preparing for medical tests and I can now report that all results were good. That is always a relief.
Tuesday, May 15th was an eye appointment for Gary with lunch following at Pop Jackson's. We seldom think to stop there, but have always been pleased with the food when we do. Then we drove on to Berlin Center to see our Ohio RVing friends, Bill and Jane.

Wednesday, May 16th was another full day. Gary went to Victor's to do more of his outside trim painting on his house before I left for Salem for lunch with my friend, Barb, at Tim Horton's. Barb it was such a great visit!! Thanks for sparing me the time. I know that you have much work to keep up with at home!
Gary and I spent the next day running errands in Salem for Janet. After I took him back to the condo, I went back to Salem to meet with my former Home Savings co-workers at Mike's Penn Grille for dinner.

| Another Norma, another two Debbies, Janet and a fourth Debbie. Imagine what it was working with all of them at once! |
Mike has expanded his space and his menu so we were very pleased to have a room to our selves for our noisy bunch. We never run out of things to talk about but we do run out of time. I promised them a picnic for the next visit. Seems that I am the one who does the planning for these get togethers. But we sure enjoy them!!
Friday, May 19th was scrap booking for me with friends in Salem.

| Mary Ann really had been working on her card making! Guess she is finished for the day! |
 |
| And Eugenie just stopped by before we finished up to visit with us. |
Not sure how much work we got done, but we do visit and have lunch together. See you next time girls!
I also stopped at Walmart to see our grandson for a few minutes. Since he is working full time there, we see very little of him. Rich, you make us proud!!
Gary was with his friend, Rick, that day to do the flea market thing along with antiquing!
Saturday, May 20th was "Men of Faith" at the Dutch Haus in Columbiana for breakfast and fellowship. Gary looks forward to that each month.
We followed that with a trip to Salem for a Library book sale. Of course, we each managed to get another bag full!. We then stopped at the Salem Community Center to see if we could sign up for Silver Sneakers to use there and across the country. We found that since our insurances are from Florida where our permanent residence is, we have to sign up in Florida. Very disappointed as it will probably be quite some time before we are down there again. We are thinking that we will try on line. Maybe that will work as we sure need to be exercising more!
In the mean time I got a call from friend, Cheryl, about lunch out with the Bible Study girls in Lisbon. I guess that I had not kept track of that plan as it was not on our calendar. But Gary took me there and he spent that time looking for garage sales. We lunched at a new restaurant behind the courthouse, called Love's Cafe' at Courthouse Inn B&B. The restaurant does not serve any meat and we were in awe of the many veggie, fruit, cheese combinations that they have come up with!! And the deserts were unbelievable and unbelievable prices also!! Gary made the piece of German Chocolate Cake that I got for him last three days. I ate all of my peanut butter pie while there. Needless to say, I did not need to eat the rest of the day!! Cheryl, thank you for calling to remind me!!
Sunday, May 21st after church, we headed for Warren to meet up with my cousin, Larry and his wife, Betty at O'Charley's for dinner along with our son, Victor.

The rest of this week was spent doing many repeats, including taking the motor home to All Pro in Alliance for the repairs.
Tonight and tomorrow night, May 24 & 25th, we will have dinner with friends, Ron and Donna at Bob Evans and then with RVing friends, Bill and Esther at Ange Netta's in Canfield. Gary is also getting his coffee break with Pastor Pete. He looks forward to that!
Then Friday will be a trip to Akron for an Oil Change, etc. for the Honda, after which maybe I can talk Gary into some Thrift Store stops??
Our last family get together will be Sunday. Not sure what I will plan for that. It might depend on the weather. It would be nice to picnic. But I have to plan careful so that there is not food left over to need to move with us.Looking forward to the time together. Wish we could do it more often!
This will probably be the last Blog until we get to Minnesota. So check back in a week or two.
God Bless You All!!
