OHIO, MORE CATCH-UP TIME WITH FRIENDS and RELATIVES.

Golly, I've gone more than a month without writing a Blog!!  I forget too much in that length of time!! Must not do that.
I think that we got too caught up in running around in Ohio and then getting ready to hit the road. So now that we are on the road, I must try to get caught up!!
September we were doing our usual meeting with friends, relatives and medical catch-ups.

Saturday, September 7th,  Gary's '63 class luncheon our friend Sandy came up from Beckley WV and had a grade school classmate meet us at Annabell's Restaurant.  When I mentioned that I had been married in the little white church across the road there, Sandy's friend, Sharon said, "Oh, I went to church there!" I would never have guessed that I knew her!!! I guess that is what fifty-five years does to our memory! And of course, we did change a little in appearance.  We did a lot of reminiscing and some picture sharing.

Tuesday, September 17th, we met with Larry and Gloria for dinner and sharing at Bone Shaker's in Salem.  It was great!
We also got to spend time with Audrey's cousin Larry and his wife, Betty.  Gary and Larry also went to the Canfield Fairgrounds for the Classic Cars and Parts.
Thursday, September 19th, we also had an opportunity to meet up with Victor's former boss, Mike and his wife, Judy, at Applebee's in Alliance.  It was good to catch up even though we had to choose a different location because our favorite place, N. Georgetown Stage Coach Inn, was badly burned a few months earlier.  It was good to hear what they have been doing in their retirement and Victor and Mike shared info about what is going on at SES these days.  Mike and Judy have been in Florida also, so we are hoping to catch up with them there also.

Gary and Victor spent another day going through Mill Creek Park in Boardman for some picture taking. Victor has really been enjoying his hobby with his new cameras and Gary was hoping to get some new material for his pencil drawings.

They were not able to get near the old mill because of road construction, so that will have to wait for next year!
On Sunday, September 22nd, We also got together at Richard and Lynn's for celebration of five Sept. and Oct. birthdays.  I almost forgot to take pictures, so only got a couple.  We always have a good time and good food!!

I did not get pictures of Gary, Richie and Miranda who also celebrated! Next time!!

We also took an evening to have dinner with Bill and Esther at DeRienzo's while they are back in Ohio from their winter home in Florida. 
And I went out to dinner with my friend, Louise Wed, the 25th, where she gave me a birthday surprise. I thought it was cute, so had to show you

We made an afternoon visit to our other RVing friends, Bill and Jane.  They are up from Florida for some doctor visits and will leave from here to go to Arizona for their winter.

Stay tuned for another Blog or two. We will be hitting the road soon to head south for the winter.
