Ohio Visit Winding Down


Our visit to Ohio is winding down. Thursday we leave for the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania where Mom was born and raised. We have enjoyed our Ohio visit but are tired of the rain. Mom and Dad toured the home, in Mentor, OH, of President James Garfield. According to them it is quite a place. The home had nine rooms when the Garfields purchased it but they added on to where it now has 29 rooms. Mom and Dad had previously visited Garfield's crypt in Cleveland. Yesterday, Mom and Dad had lunch with two old friends, Kelly and Mark, at the Old Mill Winery in Geneva, OH. Kelly and Mark loaded Mom and Dad up with vegetables from their garden. Gotta keep the old folks healthy. Mom is going to roast the vegetables tonight for supper and she is going to give Lenny & me some to have with our dinner, I can't wait.
While Mom & I were out walking , she almost stepped on a SNAKE. I was going to get it but she hauled me up in her arms and took off. It was a 2 foot black snake. Lenny is in the dog house, Mom cleaned and then he dumped the toy box out all over the place, she yelled and he got excited and put his foot in the food dish and dumped that then all H----broke loose. Don't worry Lenny, she gets over it real fast, just give her the eyes.
This is all for now, talk to everyone later from Pa.
