We are currently in a beautiful park in Wilmington, OH. We have a big grassy site with plenty of room for Lenny and me to run and play. Yesterday, Mom and Dad went to Dayton and toured the Wright Brothers Bicycle Shop. Afterwards, they went and found the graves of Wilbur and Orville. They also found the grave of humorist Erma Bombeck. Even in death, Erma has a great sense of humor. Her grave is marked only by a big boulder. No fancy monument for her. Today we went to Brock, OH to see the grave of Phoebe Anne Moses, better known by her stage name of "Annie Oakley". She was also nicknamed "Little Sure Shot" by Chief Sitting Bull when they toured with Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show. We then went to Greenville, OH to see a statue of her at the Annie Oakley Memorial Park. We also went by her home, which is still a private residence today. Thursday we leave here and will be going to Jefferson, OH in the Northeast part of the state.

Sure does sound like you and Lenny are staying busy and seeing some neat places. I am still stuck here with Mom and Dad at home, but I guess we will be heading out in a couple of weeks. My uncle Wayne is moving here and Moms wants to wait until he gets moved in. Dad wants to get going, so I guess we will be staying a bit longer.
