In October I took a trip to Ohio.
I hadn't been there since Sept 2018.
I flew into Columbus and spent the night.
The next day I drove to Fremont and checked into my hotel.
It was fun to drive around and see my old stomping grounds!
I spent the evening with my cousin Mark and Denise.
Such a great meal and a such great time!!
The next day I spent with my dear 87 yr old Aunt Janie.
She prepared a lovely lunch and cousin Sherrie
and Rosie there, too! We enjoyed chatting and driving
around the countryside to visit many special spots!
We met Joe and Emily for ribs in New Reigle
and ended up at the Reinhart cousins for a visit.
So very thankful we did this as cousin John died
of a heart attack a couple weeks later. It was
a miracle that we got to see him. We did not take pictures
but this is John and I from a few years ago....
such a special guy and so thankful for this trip!
The next day I met Joe and Emily at Mom and Dad's
gravesite. We then followed each other to Cincinnati.
met at Steve's amazing home.
It had been 3 years since we were all together!
We got to see Kyle, Kent and Vince on their High School
Football team. We had a blast cheering them on!
Jingles and Mullet showed up at our campfire night!
I got to go with Joe and Emily to the Cincinnati zoo!
So much fun!
The rest of the Fall was quiet...
but we got had some fun times with the Grands!
We spent Thanksgiving at the Nelson's...
So special and so delicious!
We got to have Adah and Emsley over
to celebrate their November birthdays!!
We went to see Encanto and went out for pizza!
We were all so proud to see Uncle James' name
in the credits!! (7th from top)
James' posts about Encanto's premiere in LA - so very exciting!
We had a fun time playing games together and
shopping for and creating special ornaments
for their parents! The girls were so thoughtful and
creative. What a great time to be with these
two special ones!
