Thursday was a catch-up on sleep day. About 3:30 pm, Dave Wooster came by (friend of Dave's who we go "jeepin" with and we caught up on his life. Another 79 degree day! When cuz Dave came home from work we just sat around and visited, had an adult beverage or two and ordered in pizza again. (Jerry was very happy with that, but sure wasn't a healthy choice. However, I was too tired to care. Allergies or something making me all congested, so I'm not sleeping well. A great soak in the hot tub at the end of the night was the best.
Friday was a lazy day. Finally catching up on our sleep and I worked on the genealogy that we hope to do in eastern OH and southern PA. I think the high today was 77. Awesome. When Dave got home from work, Uncle Glenn and Aunt Helen took us to Famous Dave's (about 2 blocks from Dave's house) were we had a "feast" and a local brew. Angela, our waitress will remember us, I'm sure as all the "Iossi" men teased her unmercilessly. An early night.
Saturday after a wonderful hot tub soak to get us awake with our coffee, Dave's friend, Mike (another "jeepin" buddy came over and we all worked on hauling wood from one pile to the stack near the garage door. It was a bit cool but keeping busy with a sweatshirt was the deal. Dave has a great working garage for everyone's jeep projects and he heats it on cool days (and all winter) with a wood stove. Warm and cozy. Helen dropped off Glenn and he mowed the grass with the riding mower. Dave, Jerry and I worked on Dave's leaves and got them all taken care of. Glad we had a leaf blower with us! Toledo picks up leaves from the street, so we just took several tarp loads out there and dumped them. The rest we just mulched to death with the mower. By the time supper came around, Helen was back and we grilled brats and heated beans and sat around the cozy garage to eat. Then we gathered at the fire pit for an awesome campfire. My smore was the best ever and Helen's chocolate chip cookies with a touch of kahlua (I'm going to adopt this tip) were the best. Another couple stopped by. Had not seen Dano for several years nor met his wife, Deedee, so that was great. A pefect day and evening! We are so blessed.
Well, after watching the weather report, looks like Sandy is going to do a lot of damage and come inland as far as the OH and PA area we're going to next. Think we will probably stay put here at Dave's til Thursday when the pounding rain and 50 mpr winds in Columbiana Co, OH are gone....so nice not to have a "schedule" that we have to follow. Bright sun but chilly wind today. Will hang out in the garage again this afternoon with Mike, Glenn and Dave. Oh yes, and Jerry. Will probably work on genealogy, too!
