Saturday - Dayton/Greenville/Fort Recovery

Well, I have had quite an interesting day! Last night, dad and I arrived at our hotel (which dad strongly suggested that we book ahead of time,..I guess he was worried that all of the hotels on the side of the freeway in Ohio would be packed due to the Friday night crowds???) Anyway, our room was clean…but tiny!!! Two queen beds, each up against the wall, with like 16 inches between them….if that!!!

Anyways, we woke up and went to see my great Aunt who was in a nursing home recovering from a fall. She was so glad to see us! I swear, her mind is so incredible for her age!

We had lunch at Skyline Chili (pause a moment to reflect and give thanks) and then we headed up to my Aunt’s house. This Aunt, Aunt R, is hosting our family shindig tomorrow for Father’s day. We helped her put mulch in her garden area…a lot of work but fun, in a way! I know I am such a suburbanite… I get a kick out of these farm things;

Then we headed up to the farm (have I mentioned that I love cordless keyboards?).

Grandpa seems to be doing well. He gets h
Short of breath really quick, but his mind is as sharp as ever!

The farm itself never ceases to amaze me. All of the bunnies running through the field, all of the life! Also, the farmhouse is cleaner then before now that Aunt R has been living here, which makes it more pleasant to stay. Also, we saw a deer running across the runway after we took off…which leads me to…

My uncle J took me flying! It was so neat! He let me fly the plane as well, but I had a lot of trouble maintaining speed on the turns. God, though, I really do love flying!!! Someday, perhaps, I will get my pilot’s license!

Anyway, I better head off to bed. Life here on the farm starts much earlier then I’d like!

Night all!
