Brownies, a dry tavern and a slide show

A few days ago at one of our walks I got a bunch of mosquito bites on my ankles.  They are DRIVING ME TO DISTRACTION!!!

We have had quite the day.  Dorothy, George and I took Guinness on a nice long walk.  We had planned to leave Defiance about 10 am.  We got home to find Nathan, George an Rebecca making brownies.  New Plan.  We finally got on the road about 11:30 am.  First stop lunch - we stopped at Panera Bread in Toledo.  The menu there sure has changed.  Then we drove to Cuyahoga National Park.  There was a trail we wanted to walk.  We got separated and had a little difficulty getting back together.  Caravaning  is more difficult than it should be, but traffic and toll booths messed us up. Plus we did not have an accurate address so our rGPSs led us to different places.  We walked about 2 miles in the park.

There was a sign saying that the bridge was out cross at your own risk.  Which to us meant crossing was possible.

umm.  They were not kidding about the bridge being out

so we crossed ar our own risk

a very pretty falls.  Ohio does not have many of them

Then we drove on to Pennsylvania to our Bed and Breakfast.  The Cnndleford Inn is very nice.  http:/www.candlefordinn.com 

But this is small town USA, Amish country and everything, absolutely everything closes at 5 pm.  We got here close to 6:45 pm.  We had planned to go out to dinner when we got here.  The only restaurant open was in New Wilmington, 4 miles back and it closed at 8 pm.  So we did not carry all our stuff in.  We called ahead to say we were coming and then we went to dinner at the Tavern on the Square.  This area is dry.  But they will open a bottle of wine for you if you bring it in.  There was a wine store next door, the Fractured Grape Leaf.  I guess there is a loop hole.  So we bought a bottle there and we had another bottle of wine we took.  So we had a red and a white.  Of course there was a corkage fee for the bottle we brought but not for the one we bought next door.  Another loop hole.

Nathan ordered the Poggies

Rebecca had the Scrumptious Salmon Salad

taking the unfinished bottles home

When we got back to the B &B we settled in.  Then we had a slide show of both Nathan's pictures from our Scotland trip and Rebecca's pictures of her Mumbai experience.  So it was a late night when we were done.  I just crashed after that.   

The internet is good here.  Morning seems to be a good time.  Everyone else is asleep.
