The Real World

We came back to the real world in Toledo, Ohio where we spent three wonderful days with our family Larry, Carol and Margaret. Spring is in full swing here with everything blooming; so many shades of new-growth green, and these winter-weary people are busy pruning, mowing, digging, taking down the storm windows, putting away the rock salt and snow shovels, walking, biking and basking in the welcome warmth. So we joined the neighbors working in the yard and strolled at Wildwood Park, toured the art museum for a bit, went to gymnastics practice, played Old Maid (sorry, Margaret), jumped on the trampoline (a first for both of us) and ate like kings. Here we are at our impromptu Kentucky Derby party. Pretzels and beer instead of mint juleps. It was such fun and we are so glad we dog-legged up to Ohio before heading to the Cape.
