Fall in Ohio

Saturday, October 13, 2007

Hi family and friends,

Before we left New Windsor, 21 of us went out for dinner which was fun.  We had the host and hostess volunteers and the rest were volunteers from SERRV and two of those were from England.  Such fun.  It is so hard to say goodbye as they are family too. 

We are in Wilmington, OH getting ready to leave in the morning.  It has been hot and now it is cold.  The East has had record breaking weather this past week.  Last Saturday-Monday it broke records of more than 60 years for heat.  This morning it was in the 30's and now in the high 60's which is nice.  The sun is shinning and it is beautiful.  There hasn't been a lot of color so far for fall.  When we left Maryland a week ago Thursday, as we came west we saw the beginnings of color but there is less here.  It was a beautiful trip though as we came through West Virginia again on hwy 50 it was very picturesque.  We spent one night on the road and that was in Cooleville, OH just over the border from W VA.  Nice little, cool, town.  
We arrived here on Saturday morning a week ago and have had a week of down time which has been really nice.  We got things done in the motorhome which we needed to do after 3 months.

We drove into Cincinnati last Sunday and went to church and then down to Newport, KY to the movies.  It is just across the beautiful Ohio River so it was not far.  We saw Feast of Love which was a heart warning movie.
 
We visited with friends which we know from the Elks Club here and that was fun.  It is always nice to touch bases with ones along the way.  We still miss our "family" at New Windsor Conference Center. How are things?  

Today we drove into Dayton and saw the movie Michael Clayton.  No movies for months and now 2 in two week ends.  It was a good movie as I always like George Clooney.  He is so nice to look at!!

Tomorrow we will leave for Kentucky and then on to Chattanoga, TN Tues.  We will end up in LA to visit Ric's aunt.  Then we head west and towards CA.  It will be nice to get home. 

We trust this finds you in good health.  We love hearing from you.  Thanks for writing.  It keeps us from being too lonely.

Take care and hugs to you all.

Mom, Dad, Grandmother, Granddaddy, and Ric and Jan(ice)
