Mostly pictures of family and friends. Occasionally pictures of trips I think friends and family might find interesting.

Mill Creek Park
We had a wonderful Saturday. The temperature was perfect for exploring. Through some of my "Flickr" friends, I heard about a park near Youngstown, "Mill Creek Park". It turns out that Rick and I had gone there when we dated ______ years ago. I didn't actually remember much about it, other than we had rented a canoe. (I'm lucky that I remembered that much). We were surprised at how beautiful it was, and how uncrowded. We hardly saw anyone else there. The park is huge and has a wonderful 36 hole golf course which is open to the public. We spent several hours hiking and taking pictures. Here are a few of them...the rest are on my "Flickr" link.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!
Our granddaughter Elizabeth has a birthday this week. She will be 11 years old, which seems impossible to me. It seems like only yesterday that she came into our lives. Our prayer is that this will be a better year for her than the last one. Thanks to all who have been praying for this family. A cousin told me recently, "as much as you love your grandchildren, God loves them even more". What a comfort that is!

Through the years
We all know how important the date 9/11 is. We all know what we were doing when that horrible thing happened 7 years ago. We were on a trip through Canada with our family when we saw the news on TV. Rick and I were babysitting the grandkids while the "big kids" were hiking to the top of Whistler's outside Jasper. We saw those images over and over and over again. So I know how terrible that date is for so many people.
Forgive me, though if I go back a few more years (43 in fact) to Sept. 11. My husband and I got married while we were still teenagers. We met at a wonderful little church camp, Hollow Rock, on the Ohio River. Rick grew up
going there and I started in the 4th grade. So, while I want to pay tribute to the people who perished on Sept. 11, 7 years ago, I also want to remember Sept. 11 as the most wonderful day of my life, 43 years ago, because I married my best friend!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
I LOVE YOU RICK !!

The first of 88
We have 88 counties in Ohio. In honor of the bicentennial a few years ago, one barn in each county was chosen to be painted with the Bicentennial Logo. I would love to be able to take a picture of each of the barns. Here is my first one. Unfortunately as we were driving, I didn't make note of which county we were in.
If anyone knows which county this is in, please let me know!
Guess Where???
I put this up for my husband's boss who, I think, likes this particular chain of restaurants.
A Trip to Yoder's Farm
We've driven by here many times, but decided to pull into the driveway this time. You can visit an actual "working" Amish farm, take a buggy ride, visit a school house, and actually go through the farmhouse where they are baking bread. Unfortunately, we arrived too late for the tour, but not too late to take pictures of the yard.
Next time, we'll be on time for a tour.
