Rainy Day Perhaps with Ed and Dot

Dinner with Ed and Dot

Ed and Dot arrived yesterday afternoon, after getting confused in downtown Jamestown, but they made pretty good time overall, driving here from Penn State in little over four hours, which seems about right.  Dot drove the entire way, with Ed navigating, which must have been something to see and hear!  They both seem in pretty good shape despite being on the road for two weeks, in the car the last two days for quite a bit.  Dad told me confidentially that he will never travel anywhere again; he's staying in Scottsdale, which I understand.  At 92, everything is a hassled, especially traveling, getting used to new beds, houses, riding in cars and airplanes.  I give them both a lot of credit for coming to Euclid, driving off to Penn State, then Chautauqua, then home again.

We at outside last night, a beautifully cool evening, fresh corn, homemade bread, and brisket, all perfect, along with a peach/blueberry crisp, with vanilla ice cream, my favorite dessert. We also have been having trouble with bees, so we tried something recommended on the web, spreading cloves around on the table and it seemed to work, as we were not bothered despite the good food. It would be nice if this works. We sat around and talked until about 10:30, catching up on all the news, hearing the Lincoln Electric stories again, something I am used to after all these years.

Evie and I were up around 7:00, a bit warmer today, around 60, but quite breezy.  It's supposed to be a nice day, getting warmer as the day moves on thought tonight it may rain.  I am not sure what's on the agenda for today, probably Dot and Evie will go shopping, and Dad and I will find a small easy project to do, like change a switch, something like that.
