Zoo highlights
I tried to just enjoy the scenery and just get a few pics of the coolest parts. It was fun to hear the eagles talking to each other. The lower left praying mantis was awesome too!
We went to the Cincinnati Zoo
We realized there’s such a thing as blue penguins. They were cute and pretty. We also got to walk among the kangaroo which was fun too!
Itty Bitty and Zoe are learning…
…how to get a long with each other. This is the first pic I have of the two of them where one of them isn’t blurry from running haha.

All the Sauerkraut festival history you need.
Our little Waynesville sauerkraut festival is ranked among the top ten in the NATION! :)
Blast from the past
Proof that I was an IBM’er and that Julie and I had our own photography business back in the day… Check out the old 513 area codes too. ;)
We found this nameplate while cleaning up
John found a place of honor for this nameplate of Julie’s Dad’s from when he was working and managing die and mold design rooms. Pretty cool❣️

Julie’s 3D design and print❣️
John wanted a case for his Switch handheld gaming console. She found something that was similar, but wasn’t designed for his model. So she used that as the bases and built this one from scratch in her modeling software then iterated on it with prints until it worked the way they wanted to. Nicely done my girl!!!❤️ I’m a proud hubby engineer.
Sophie had a good idea!
She thought we should try the Dairy Station in Xenia. They have something for EVERYONE! Soft serve, hand-dipped, Shakes, Twisters with mix-ins (Combine Blizzards and Coldstone), ice cream sandwich cookies, and more! I got a strawberry cheesecake Twister with added chocolate chips❣️
The boys got Julie some fun and thoughtful gifts too. Andy brought a bouquet and Chocalate. Johnny found some yummy macadamia nuts we love.
Got the whole gang for Mother’s Day
I treated the mother’s in my life to time with the kids. We enjoyed a yummy Rooster’s dinner and laughter. I love all the smiles.
Side quests from my rollerblading trip
I grabbed a nice iced coffee (including coffee ice cubes) from a new place in Corwin. They I stopped by the Amish meat market to see what they had. The sauerkraut and summer sausage were great! I passed on the cheesecake cookie, but I feel like there is gonna be one in my future…?!
Third generation dump runs…
It was fun to hang out with John and Savannah on the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend. We worked on cleaning up their garage and even managed to find enough stuff to justify a dump run. It was like the good ole days for John… It was Savannah’s first visit. I’m not sure it made a good first impression. Uh, welcome to the family!🤪
