Oops! Photos Didn’t Load

The weekend weather was hot but no rain after a big storm on Thursday night took down some large trees!  Everyone had a terrific time and Saturday’s dinner in our red and white private tent was delicious!

Everyone had to be out by 10 am on Sunday.  Ted and I took Karen to Mass at 8:30 while Ronnie got their things together.  She got out of our car and into Dan’s and off they went.  We were staying until Monday so we went to Bowling Green KY with Kelly, Pat, Kara, Bill, Morgan and Sam.  We hiked down to a blue hole at the lost cave and then to the Butterfly Building before heading to the Mellow Mushroom to eat.

While there, Ted received a phone call from Terry.   I knew it wasn’t going to be good.  Either something had happened at home and Nancy requested he call us or something else.  It was that their great niece had died suddenly a few hours before.  I have still not received a cause of death but I am suspecting PE, blood clot, or aneurism.  I did learn when they tried to intubate her, the lungs were filled with blood.  She was 37 and leaves her husband and two daughters ages 11 and 14.

This just threw us for a loop.  Her family lived near us in Michigan and we were each other’s only Family in the area.  Lynn was like us having a grandchild.  Our kids were so excited when she was born.  Kristin remarked this is the first person she remembers her birth and death.  So, so sad.

Monday we headed to Georgetown KY and got set up.  Kelly and Pat stopped at the Corvette Museum and then at our campground for a bite to eat before going to their motel and the James family toured some of Nashville before catching a flight home.

Today the four of us went to The Ark in Williamstown. We spent about six hours there including lunch and a short gospel concert.  It is HUGE!  The building itself is so interestingly built and how the animals were fed, watered and cleaned up after was enlightening.  You could visit frequently and probably find something else each time that you had missed.

We have made arrangements to drive to Avon, OH on Monday for the funeral to arrive in time for the viewing and we will stay over night to attend the Funeral Mass on Tuesday.  Kelly and Kara will drive over from Michigan. Ted’s brother, sister and sister-in-law are also driving from Cincinnati.  Lynn’s parents died 10 years ago, 9 months apart.  Her grandparents and aunts and uncles all live in Arizona and I have not heard of their plans.

Tomorrow we head to Cincinnati where the RV will stay for 11 days with us not being there 4 of those days!  Nothing like paying camping fees and motel fees for the same night!

I am having problems with photos again!  The last I promised from the reunion didn’t post and I am trying to post The Ark.  I will try to post them separately.
