Junior Prom

Alexus was being driven to the prom in Jason's new 2009 Ford Mustang.
Alexus, my granddaughter is ready for the prom. I can't believe she is grown up this much already. Time surly flies by.

Marietta, Ohio

After leaving Karen & Tom's in Loveland, Ohio, we went to Marietta, Ohio to visit our friend David Paskawych. We stayed there for 2 days and had a great visit with Dave and Kevin, my sister Marjorie's son.



Roger, Dave and I went for a walk around the town, ate in a brewery and walked along the Ohio river. This city was completely underwater numerous times and the hotel across the street from this fountain has plaques where the water marks were in 1919, 1939 and 2006. The city is very quaint.

Visiting the Cupps

At Sleepy Hollow. I'm finally in a picture, imagine that.


We went to a restaurant called Sleepy Hollow. What is different about this restaurant is that it is all decorated for Christmas in May. The story I heard was that during either WWII or the Korean war the owners of the place had a son who was due home around Christmas time so they decorated the entire place for his homecoming, but it never took place, he never made it home. They left the decorations up and they have been left up ever since. What a heart breaking story.
Still in Sleep Hollow. I thought the lighted flags in the background would be nice for Memorial Day. The food was very good here. I had a grilled pork chop...yum!

Visiting the Cupps

Roger and I drove down to Tom and Karen Cupps for our Memorial Day vacation for a few days.
The trip was real good, the weather was perfact and we had a good time on the trip. It was nice to finally arrive to the Cupps house to find them sitting on the stoop waiting for us. It's always so nice to be with our friends and to spend time with them.

We went to a large farmers market, the largest I've ever been too. Everything you can think of was for sale there. We saw lots of interesting things.

We saw policemen on these funny scooters.

Later we went to a huge supermarket called Jungle Jim's. Very unique. There are life sized fake animals everywhere, inside and out. The place must be very popular because it was packed with people, just like the farmers market was.


Nick and Denise went on a camping trip so "grandma and grandpa Cupps" agreed to babysit their dogs. Charlie, Chandler and Blair who is Denise's sisters dog. What fun we had walking the 3 of them. Blair went potty on one man's lawn and he yelled out the window to have our dogs potty in our own yard. We even had plastic bags to pick it up, but he hollered anyhow.
He was a little grumpy.
We went to a mexican restrauant for lunch and it was the best. I had a carne asada which was to die for.

We played wii bowling every evening. This is so much fun, I can't wait till we can buy our own wii. We hollered, laughed and roared and cheered each other on. What a blast!

Karen bowling on the wii game. Man, she's good!

This is the Cupp's new house in Loveland, Ohio. It's truly beautiful and very comfortable. The yard is lush and lovely with all the trees and plants and instead of mulch, the plants are covered with white stones. There is a water fountain in front but Tom and Karen are looking to replace it with something more to their liking. I like the old one but it's not in great shape. We saw one at Sam's that would look perfact in it's place.

Sunday morning we went to see the Music and the Spoken Word which is the Mormon Choir singing. It was great
Inside the plumb's house.
lots of staircases.
The outside looks like a mansion! The house is huge.
A HARLEY dealer near Lehi, Utah. It was built from scraps from the steel mill that was finally torn down in recent years. It's very unique.

Cody is trying to teach me to rope. I finally did it! Isn't he the cutest thing?

Karen met Cody, Ash and I out near Cody's dad's house to take me back to her mom and dad's house.
Brother and Sister Plumb's house is like a castle. So large and roomy, lots of windows and so beautiful. They are very kind and lovable people.
