Saturday we dressed appropriately for a funeral and traveled west side to east side Cincinnati. There was an hour of catching up with relatives, always delightful in spite of our reason for being there. Fr. Terry Keehan did a wonderful job and the service was a great tribute to a wonderful man complete with a green tam o shanter, bagpipes and a Jameson Irish whiskey toast and naval honor guard.
Of the remaining 25 cousins, at least half were in attendance. Ted is #9, reminding people he is in “the top 10!” Pat, #15 cousin, attended but left early for another commitment.
We returned home and Sherry and John came by to pick up the Barco Loungers we were removing. They sent a photo once they had one of them in Wyatt’s room. She said “Mabel approves.” My objection to them was the footstool. In an RV they were always in the way. I have to take a photo of our new recliners.
We then chose to see “2000 Mules”. We hadn’t been to a movie since “Judy” about Judy Garland and now we went two nights in a row! We enjoyed Downton Abbey and found Mules very thought provoking.
We left Sunday and drove to Shipshewana IN. It rained so grilling our steaks was out. We ate at Culver’s and called it a day. Monday morning we went to two Amish groceries, one for their meat and one for their baking and cooking things not readily found. Then we left to keep our 10 am appointment. There was someone getting “something” but sizing info was wrong so we sat until 11:15 to have them place two recliners in the empty spots!
Our drive to Michigan was through construction on terrible roads and rain. We had sandwiches for dinner because we both were too tired to cook! That steak will be a late lunch today because we will be gone starting around 5:00 to get to the Commencement venue. It sort of interferes with the dinner hour.
We are set up for the month in a county park we have frequented for over two decades. We sat outside with our feet up until it got too cool and we came in. Eat your heart out, Texans!
