A rainy evening and overnight....one of the new features on my Ipad mini is rainfall recorded and as of 6 AM this morning, we had 2.2" with more since then! I'm like my Dad giving out forecasts, daily weather report, rainfall, etc. Dad always mentioned the weather 1st thing when he wrote in his diary (MANY years) and now I'm doing the same with my blog. 😊
Happy to wake up to an e-mail that our nephew, Justin and Jessa from Charlotte are expecting their first baby in November. Yeah....and with this baby and 3 others due this year, we'll be getting close to 70 great grandchildren for Mark's parents! We will see Justin and Jessa over the 4th at Lake James.
Dreary skies and everything very wet this morning....we did computer stuff, had breakfast and on with the day. Nothing special planned and love these leisurely "don't have to be anywhere" days.
Around 1:00, decided to needed a change of scenery so took off in car for Oak Harbor (12 miles to the west and where friends that Joe and Joan (Mark's sister) met in Arcadia this winter live in the summertime. We will all get together in August. Drove around this small town of 2700 and then headed south to Fremont. We were here last summer for delicious dinner at Scarpetto's. Today we checked out The Garrison (#2 on Trip Advisor) and it was a winner - neat old building with brick walls. Mark loved his open-faced roast beef with mashed potatoes and Garrison gravy. I had French onion soup and a wedge salad. Definitely a return to place.
Mark had been doing some checking on possible walking/biking trails in the area. There is a 13-mile trail (North Coast Inland Trail) so decided to check it out and walked 1.2 miles. It is very straight and flat so may take the bikes there (tomorrow)??
Weather was really wonky today - cloudy and rain, then sun, then more rain - cool and then warm....way more clouds than sun.
Back from our little outing in the country - talked to Dave (dockmaster) and told him of our trip as he's from Fremont. We both clunked out for little naps and then more walking.
It turned out to be a beautiful evening here in Port Clinton and once again, like most nights during the week, it's just us! Most of these boaters come for the weekend, cruise to the Bass Islands or somewhere, and then return their boat and go on home.
Mark's sister Janet is still in so much pain AFTER she had her spinal surgery....her sciatica is really hurting and now going on 9 days of prednisone. We're waiting to hear how Tom's retina surgery went tonight? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
