A fun night of hot sauce with the boys.

When I left they were comparing insurance options. 🤪 Adulting…

Savannah’s stained glass

She’s taken up designing, cutting, and soldering together stained glass projects.  Here’s her first one from scratch!

We went to Jungle Jim’s with Andy and Sophie

It was a fun Memorial Day adventure, including this tub of mud bugs (crayfish) :)

Julie got me some yummy seasoning to try with my eggs.

Salt, onion, garlic, green onion, pepper.  You had me at garlic and onion❣️



I took Chloe on our fist solo outing

She came along on my walk with Laura.  On the left you can see her enjoying the smells on the breeze from the open windows.  Laura snapped some pics of our walk together on the way.  Chloe did great.  It’s fun that she enjoys going on adventures just as much as Zoe.  Many bassets of the internet won’t even move if threatened with a leash.  She dives into her harness head first at the first little sound of it jingling. :)

A nice little hike with Laura!

Four down, six to go

The blue (cyan) dotted line shows the parts of the GOAT trail we’ve covered so far.  I’m trying to make it “coast to coast” of Ohio.  It’s a squiggly, diagonal line from the SW shores of the Ohio River to the NE shores of Lake Erie if I make it the whole way.

John snapped this cool pic

We were just finishing up the trail on the second day when I had to cross this old covered bridge.  What a fun weekend together!

It’s fun to run across John’s stuff in the wild

This was a random gas station in the middle of nowhere.  He printed the tea add as one of his batch jobs they get.

Zoe trying desperately to restrain herself from the goose babies…

She gave in and jumped for it… To no avail, hahahaha.

It was fun stopping at fishing spots along the way

Zoe is always right in the middle of whatever we were doing.  At this moment, she is VERY intently watching the goose family swimming in the distance…

It was fun to pull the camper along

These were some of the lesser maintained roads we hit along the way.

Great vibes camping on the GOAT

Johnny made me dinner on the fire AND got some cool foggy mountain pics on our trip a couple weekends ago❣️
