Another wonderful day here in Ohio

Another wonderful day here in Ohio.  Friday was filled with so much activity.  Places to go and people to see.  Our first stop was the Honey House, owned by a friend of our Cyndi and helped run by  my dearest friend Julie.  Cyndi wanted to me with me to talk about carrying some of my art pieces in her shop.  We had a wonderful visit with both lovely ladies.  Even got to see Jim the bee man.

The Honey House is a beautiful little shop in Grove City.

After my meeting we headed over to Lilly's a restaurant that Cyndi suggested.  It was a wonderful place to grab an enjoyable and yummy lunch.  They even had gluten free bread.

After lunch we were off to visit with the Susie and Roger Singer.  Susie had ordered two of my creations and I wanted to get those dropped off besides the fact we just wanted to visit with these marvelous friends.  They have recently moved into a new beautiful place.  As always their gardens are spectacular.















We had a delightful visit with these two as we always do.  I helped Susie hang my pieces she bought. it was fun to actually see my works hanging in someones home.  I even caught a photo of the two of them as we were pulling away.  Love these two!



After a much to short visit with the Singers we headed over to Amanda and Kent's.  Our mission for the afternoon was for me to watch the boys along with Linda, Kent's Mom.  While the husbands and Amanda and Kent moved two car/truck loads of boxes over to Faith's house.  Linda and I had a great time with the boys.  After this part of the move was completed Linda and I met Amanda, Kent, the hubbies and Faith at a local Vietnamese restaurant.  

Oh my gosh how I love these three

Even Brice was in on the activities



Kent attempted to get a group shot, but left out his own wife from the photo.

The food was excellent and the portions were HUGE!


After a wonderful meal we headed home for a well needed rest.  Tomorrow is moving day for the kids.

Made it to Ohio

Big brother Gary reminded me this morning that every day is an adventure and that I should post even the smallest of adventures.  So we are here in Ohio visiting family and friends.  We left on Wednesday morning, the trip is an eleven hour ride and I would say during this trip 85% of it was rainy or foggy.

We arrived in Columbus around 6:00 p.m. picked up some dinner and dog food, yes we left Miss Millie's food at home and then headed over to Amanda and Kent's to share some dinner with them. We were greeted by our sweet Mr. Jacob.  I can't get over the joy I feel every time I see our grandsons faces and get to give them a big hug.

So in love with these guys.

Brice with Papa, oh how he is growing up so fast

Amanda and her sweet little boys.  

We enjoyed a wonderful visit with them and then headed over to the east side of town to my brother Gary's where we had planned to live for the next week or so.  So blessed to have a brother and sister in law that opens their doors to us every time we arrive.  On our ride there we were blessed with some outstanding looking cloud formations.  I do have a weakness for clouds.





Even though we are away from home I was going to make sure I kept up with my now normal routine of Millie and I taking our morning walks.  On Thursday I awoke early and we headed out.  Taking a walk in this neighborhood is certainly different than where we walk at home.  There were deer to see along with chipmunks, and cars.  Not used to the cars during our walk, but none the less it was a great walk.  After breakfast we headed over to our niece Faith's house to drop off the chest of drawers I fixed up for Jacob and a shelf I repainted for the boys to put their toys on. 

Chest of drawers I bought at a yard sale, cleaned it up, had Mike put some shelves in and painted it a nice clean white.


 You see Amanda, Kent and the boys will be moving in this Saturday with Faith and Tim.  Mike took off shortly after we unloaded to have lunch with a friend while I hung out with Faith to help with some home maintenance projects she had going on. Always enjoy my time with this lady.  


Later that evening I joined some friends from our old church in Ashville for dinner.  What an absolute wonderful time we had.  We talked and laughed and pretty much closed the place down.  Must do this again next time I am in town.

This morning I was greeted by beautiful sunshine, you see it has been raining pretty much for the past three days.  The sunshine was a welcomed site.  After my walk this morning I hung out on the screened porch with my cup of coffee and camera.  The light coming in was just wonderful so I started taking a few shots of things simply around me.

This afternoon we are off to visit more friends, drop off a couple of my "creations" and then head over to Amanda and Kent's to help move a few boxes and enjoy a nice dinner with them and Kent's parents.  It's going to be a great day!
