Picnic with Michelle & her family

We are in Middletown, OH now - 78 degrees and had a shower a little bit ago.
Friday evening we boiled some sweet corn

and Phyllis fixed deviled eggs and we went to near the south end of the lake in the state park we were camped in.  Met our daughter, Michelle, and the family she is with.  The kids swam a little in the lake and we had picnic supper.

    The littlest kid got some attention.






 After eating the corn, chips and hot dogs, the kids had fun with marshmallows, making "smores".









 Saturday morning we slept in a little, re-arranged everything in the back of the pickup and while the trikes were out, aired up the tires and rode 2.5 miles around the park on the paved roads.  Was overcast and not too hot, but we hadn't ridden for over a month and could sure tell with the "jello-legs".



Had heard on TV that there was an old-fashioned gas war in one of the towns we were coming through on our way to Middletown, OH and stopped to get gas for $1.899.  We had hunted around Columbus the day before on Gas Buddy on our phone and gotten gas for $2.299 though many stations were at $2.399 and $2.499 so could only take on 6.5 gallons, but did what we could.


Eating supper with Jerry and Lillian Witt in their house in Middletown, OH.






 Today we went with Witts down to Cincinnati, OH and went to Findlay Market.  We then walked a half-mile or so to Washington Park and back to the car.
 After eating a bite of lunch we went to American Railroad Museum which has several museums within it.  It is the old Railway station that operated from the 1930's to 1974.
Tomorrow we leave here and will spend some time with Maxine & Judy - two sisters who winter in Kenwood and live near Montpelier, OH.

Later, Lynn

"Paint" by numbers - on the smartphone

 Recent weeks I got into several apps of paint by numbers and Phyllis also picked up on it.  Our phones are tied together, so saved pictures...
