I haven't written lately as life has been busy as well and uncertain. Stacey still has to get a pass for herself and Jonathan to get into Canada, so we are still on the uncertain side. Since Jonathan is under age both Stacey and Chris have to go to the downtown Toledo Post Office to get the pass card for him. With Chris so busy at the restaurant it has been hard to find a time for both of them to so this on a weekday. I hope there is still time to get it before we leave.
I went to Chris's restaurant for Mother's Day and the kids all got together and bought me a pair of beautiful emerald earrings. I have had my ears pierced twice and both were not successful. The first time they were crooked, the second time too low; I've been talking about trying again so Stacey told me she would go with me and hold my hand for the third try. She then got the kids together on the earrings.
This weekend Stacey and I are going to a Get-Together of authors and readers of romance novels. The author Lori Foster lives in Ohio and holds this every year. There will be loads of authors there with their books for signing, workshops, and fun things to do. The hotel is between Dayton and Cincinnati, near Cookie. We go on Friday and come home of Sunday; should be fun.
A friend came down over Memorial Day weekend and we went to Amish country on Saturday and Stan Hewyet Hall (home of the man who started Goodyear Tire in early 1900's). Beautiful Tudor home and extensive gardens. We came home of Sunday night just beat! Went to Toledo for brunch on Monday and then had my ears pierced. Jonathan sat on my lap and held my hand..
I have finished two queen size quilts, numerous rag quilts and a variety of purses and things. I am doing quite a bit a sewing as you can see.
As for the get-together, we tentatively plan to come on Thursday and leave on Monday. Stacey get very sick on water, so she will not want to go on the boat trip and she doesn't eat fish. That will be a good day for her to be with Jonathan in your beautiful garden. I, on the other hand, love boats and could eat fish 7 days a week; I'm so there! Will keep you all up on our plans as time goes on.
