Ohio

June 29 we camped at Delaware State Park in Ohio. Great spot. Sites far apart in woods. First time we camped and did not need air conditioning. We went for a hike about 3:00pm. Temps were in the low 80's. Park was so quite we slept in.
June 30 The Football Hall of Fame. It had mostly static displays and a few touch screen TVs. No football atmosphere. What a disappointment. Maybe if we had not been to the Baseball Hall of Fame we would have thought it was OK. The Baseball out shown the Football.
We have been in the Cool Berkshire Mt's for the past 2 weeks. Lows are in the 50's and highs in the low to mid 80's. I feel so sorry for my Texas family and friends.
I have been reading books by...Mary Higgins Clark, John Grisham, and Clive Cussler. Now I changed to a book about the Salem Witch era. The story starts in Billerica, Mass., a town we lived in for 8yrs. Just getting into the story.
We have been to Conn. to see family and phoned our friend Anne in NH. We are looking forward to the reunion and wedding in August.
I do miss our Texas family and friends.
Just stay cool...

on the road again!






We are on the road again, but I will not be able to keep a complete blog. My surgery for a torn rotator cuff was not successful, so it is hard to type.
I will just be sending notes at intervals.
On June 21st we left Texas and drove to Shiloh Civil War Battlegrounds in Tenn. We visited the Indian mounds there and a museum. Still to hot.
Left Tenn. and camped in Ky. On our way to Lexington, Ky. we had a blowout on the trailer. We seem to have to buy a tire a trip. Gene noticed the tire that blew was made in China.
Camping in Versailles, Ky. and bought a new tire and drove around looking at the beautiful horse ranches with barns bigger than most homes. Quite a few Derby winners were sired hear.
7/28 we toured the Wild Turkey bourbon disterlies near here and had samples. Picked a road and found a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright, 1924, and a famous candy store where they make bourbon balls.
Next we are heading for Ohio and will be at the Football Hall of Fame in a few days.
