Twilight Ride

We often take friends for a ride in the boat in the evening. It is an opportunity to share with others the wonder of the lakes as they cool and the sun lowers in the sky. We don't plan many boat rides in advance because we just haven't figured out yet what the weather will be. Guess we just don't have Al Gore's insight. So we have become very last minute.

My friend Sali's daughter and son in law are here from Wales. When we called her on Saturday night, we were just hoping they would be able to go. They were here within an hour, and the trip was delightful. I took these pictures of the dimishing sunset over Turkeyfoot Lake.

I miss that view so much. Our 'new' house (which is actually 30 years older than our last house)
does not have a clear view of the sunset.

Small Town

We were happy that our friends and neighbors, Kay and Hugh Weinberg could join us in a short trip by car to Hanoverton, Ohio along the Lincoln Highway.

The small town atmosphere attracted me more than ever. Seeing the flags along the street and the neat houses with front porches made me long for the simple lives they hold, the patriotism and love of God that they make me feel still exists somewhere.

Birthdays

On our first date Ron asked me when my birthday was. I told him it was 'tomorrow' and he told me his was the next day. He used that info for his advantage and said we would have to celebrate. And we did. He then brought up that we were born under the same sign. He thought that meant we would get along well. Since I've never believed in Astrology, I just thought it was funny.

We will have been married 42 years in August.

And by the way, if you do believe in trusting the stars to tell you anything, supposedly Geminis should marry Sagittarius. If I'm wrong you can correct me. I have been wrong a few times... about insignificant things.

I almost forgot to say where we went for Ron's birthday... to a small town on the Lincoln Highway in Carrolton County, OH. I had been there to the Spread Eagle Tavern before with girlfriends and thought Ron would enjoy the history. He also likes company, so we took our friends and neighbors, Kay and Hugh along. It was an interesting trip.

My Publisher.com

Looks like we could have an ORU book if I keep going on this theme. I love to publish books on My Publisher.com. Haven't done one in a few months. ORU would be a very good subject.

Have been very busy today and neglected doing what I had set out to do. I need to make a layout of my husband's and my birthdays...June 8 and 9.

I know some of you have wanted to post a comment and haven't yet learned how to do it. Teresa, while you are in Switzerland, maybe you could tackle that. I'm sure you won't have anything else to do there.

Girlfriends

Here we girls are, back in Florida.

For years I was the 'designated' photographer, but some of the other girls are going digital and are now helping capture every important and silly thing we do.

We do have a lot of fun. In my opinion, no matter how happy your marriage is, there is always a special place for girlfriends. Don't neglect your friendships.

Father's Day

On Father's Day Ron, Mark and I went to church and to Friday's for lunch (Sunday Dinner). Then in the evening, Ron and I met our life group at Luchita's in Hudson. It was our first time there and it made our favorite Mexican restaurant,El Rincon, look soooo good. After our meal, we headed up the street to the square for a swing jazz concert.

College Already

My 'baby' grand daughter will be leaving home for college this year. Grand children grow up even faster than children. I pray God will watch over her and bless her.
