Relaxing in Ohio




It's a gorgeous day. The temperature is in the high 70's and the sun is shining. As you can see, there's a bit of fall color in the leaves. We've been to town today to have the oil changed and ate lunch at Wendys. Their chicken, apple, pecan salad is delicious.
I have attached the picture of Joe and Kay Peterson, founders of Escapees in the 70's. When I walked up to her, she said, "Oh, you're tiny like me." They are delightful folks with a zest for life. I'm so glad I was able to meet them.
Saturday, Robert and Sue came down from South Charleston, OH and we rode with them over to Waynesville to eat at the Der Dutchman. They have a wonderful buffet and we all ate our fill (and then some). We walked next door to Carlisle Gifts & Furniture. They have some beautiful Amish furniture there. It's a lovely place to browse through.
Yesterday Gene & I attended the church service held here at Thousand Trails. We were delighted to see Larry and Linda whom we had met at Indian Lakes TT, and met new friends as well. During the afternoon, we became acquainted with our neighbors on either side of us. Juan and Francis are from Florida and Roger and Gale are fulltimers originally from Oregon. We spent a lovely time getting acquainted and swapping GPS stories, etc. This is part of the fun of traveling - not only do we see new places, but we meet such friendly people.
Tomorrow we'll be on our way again to visit dear friends Barbara and Paul and then on to West Virginia to spend time with daughter Diane and husband Mike. This will be the first in several years that I will spend my birthday with family (other than Gene of course). I'm looking at # 66 and thankful to be healthy and able to travel.
Until next time,
God's blessings and our prayers are with you.
