It's evening and we are getting ready to get back into the SUV tomorrow and head toward home with tomorrow's stop being in Carrollton, Kentucky, still a few stops from home.
We spent today with Hubby's sister, Louise, doing what sisters and brothers do. We talked and did ordinary things. Louise looks well and is always wearing perfectly matched outfits. Of course, I was wearing my birthday pin on my navy jacket and looked fine, if tired.
First stop was Burger King, then we went over to a great gift shop in Berea, Ohio where I found two beautiful gifts.
Back at The Renaissance, I visited their gift shop and found a handmade doll for precious Kyla Jayne. (Already found a cup with precious Alexis' name on it at Zellers in Toronto.) So, I have a little something for each of my precious girls!
The Renaissance is a retirement community in Olmstead Twp., near Cleveland. Louise has a self-contained apartment with her kitty, "Missy". She's coming up to three years there and knows lots of people and enjoys not having to do all the things we homeowners are responsible. (No Gutter Guys for her!)
We chatted with several people including Mrs. Geye whose husband just happens to be a distant cousin of our Pastor Paul Geye. She remembered us but we did not see Mr. Geye as he is not doing so well. Our niece, Marty, stopped in and we had a visit with her as well.
After our meal in the immense dining room, we went up to the apartment and organized some more photos for Louise's scrapbooks. I have cropped her move from her home of 44 years, her 65th Reunion, the old days with family and lots of great grandson, Josh!
We left and did not turn back as we walked slowly to the elevators and down to our vehicle. It was a special day and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. And yes, there will be photos to crop!
We are just so tired! It is time to get organized for tomorrow and the drive home.
