Lancaster Ohio

We�ve been here for about a week and will be leaving on Wednesday. Just been doing a lot of back road trips this week, the other day we did a 90 mile loop and discovered about 15 covered bridges and about 9 sites of the old Erie Canal with the stone locks. A ton of little towns, and a million cemeteries for Cathy to roam. Of course we did a day in Columbus for genealogy. That�s about it for this week.

The Toledo Zoo

Well I don't think that we drove far enough south, We set up at our new camp Wednesday and the first thing Thursday morning we get a call from Nick wanting to know when we were going to come get him and his sister to spend the night and go to the Toledo Zoo. Well I've had enought of this so I put my foot down, right down on the gas pedal and we drove up to Wixom to get him and Rachel. Good thing this park has WIFI because it kept Rachel busy all night so Nick and I could watch the Tigers lose another one.
A beautiful day at the Toledo Zoo, 80 degrees and sunny and all the animals were moving around alot rather then just sleeping. The kids had a really good time as always, except for the long drive home to Wixom from Toledo, a little over two hours. How do you keep the kids quiet that long, easy you just stop every 30 minutes and get them more ICE CREAM, I mean we're dropping them off with their parents, let them handle the suger high.
I slept very well tonight.

The GRAND Opening

August 30th 2005, Suz held the grand opening of her Candy Bouquet Store. It was a double grand opening with the busness next door. It was a nice sunny day and she had a lot of friends show up to help her on her way.

The Ribbon Cutting

This is one of her display areas, they can make up a bouquet for any occassion that you can think of.



Here are two that she made for Aunt Sandy to take to their tailgateing party for the opening of the MEEEECHIGAN football season.

M GO Blue

With that all done Cathy & I packed up and moved south about 25 miles to a little RV park in Monroe, Michigan. With everything going on in the Gulf of Mexico we decided that we'll stay here for 3 to 4 weeks until things stabilize a little with gas prices and supply. The other day we were excited to buy gas for only $3.00 a gallon. It's going to make travel a little bit more expensive but what are you going to do.
We've spent the last few springs along the Gulf coast between Pensacola and Baton Rouge just laying back and relaxing, after seeing the films of the area it looks like it will be a long time before anyone can return to that area for any reason.
As always if we get in your area we'll give ya a call.
