Saturday Columbus to Defiance

We left Rob's place around 9:30 am.  Rob drove us to Defiance.  It is nearly a 3 hour drive.  We got there in time for lunch. Delicious BLTs with 3 different kinds of salads: potato, egg and beet.  We had a relaxing afternoon. We had a tour of their property.

Dorothy and Ed's place

off to the right of their place they have converted part of the garage to a little apartment.  It is listed with AirBnB.

It has a little loft area that is either a sitting room with TV or it has a futon that opens up to a bed.  Rebecca is staying up there.

It has a kitchen sitting room when you first walk in, then a dining room

bedroom and bathroom to the left.  Very nice place.  George and I are staying here. 

Ed has a nice garden and George and Martin had put together the swing.

Rebecca, Martin, Nathan and George

 Then we broke into George's dad's steamer type trunk.  It was fun for Rob, George and Dorothy to reminisce.  The trunk was full of old photos, clothes, and other odds and ends.  Newspapers from 1944.  It was like a time capsule.  They had to break the lock because no one had the key anymore. 

Then we went to see George S's house.  Nathan is staying with George.

The ladder is so they could bring a mattress and box springs into the house.  They had to go up the ladder and through the window. 

We had turkey burgers for dinner.  Then, of course. we had to go for ice cream.

Today was getting more muggy.  So the ice cream hit the spot.  I was too full from dinner to have any, but I tasted some of Nathan's.  It was very good.
