Precious Memories

This has been the best campground yet, great sleeping (no cows or trucks, Richard even turned out the barn light).  Check out the tree, I would have climbed it if no one was around.

Get your walking sticks boys, time for a hike.

Ebony knows the way, we are walking on the race track for the go carts and motorcycle.

John didn't know what it was but he ordered the "Hundred Dollar Hamburger".  It is a ride in a plane!

  The Sitlers took us to Skyline Diner, a small plane airport.

Aunt Lexy and Uncle Bill met us there.  Of course I had the grilled cheese and sweet potato fries, and no John did not get the $100 burger.

Ohio was a huge operation at the turn of the century for Coke fields.  They burned the coal in 200 + ovens made of brick in the hillside and then some magic happens and the end results are taken by train to the steel mills and that is what they use for fuel.  (something like that).

This is the Lutheran Church in Leetonia where Anabell's Father was the pastor for over 25 years.  She and Richard were married here and they are both very active in the congregation. 

Anabell treated us to some pipe organ music, can you see her off to the right.   It was a precious memory.  John and I are listening to Andy Griffith's praise CD and he is singing Precious Memories.

OK kids, put the iphones away.  Really, what is this generation coming to!

Anabell got the honors of placing the Ohio stamp on our US map.

Wow we are getting filled up, good then we can stay home.

Those lazy farm wives, sitting around drinking coffee.

With Rhubard pie, strawberries and more rhubard, lots of love and hospitality we are on our way.  With a personal escort I might add, Richard drove us out to the main highway so we wouldn't get lost.  Thanks folks.
