07/17/16 - On 7/14 - We learned that my 1st cousin's wife went to heaven in the forenoon and all other information is pending.   In the evening, I met my Beachy cousins at the Der Dutchman for dinner.  There were approximately 23 of us.  It was a great evening.  I learned that one of the cousins has a house only about a mile or so from where I am parked and the storm yesterday, blew over a glass patio table and they had some tree branches down so I know that wind was wicked!

7/15 - Aunt Ada and I left for northern Ohio around noon.  We got to Wooster, Ohio at 2:00pm and I dropped her off at her friend's house (Emma) and I left to visit a friend (Sara Mast Northey).  We grew up together in Plain City.  We had a nice visit and then she had to go to work and I left for my nephew's house in Sugarcreek, Ohio where I had plans to spend the week end while Aunt Ada attended a reunion.  When I arrived at Raphael and Regina's house, they had were getting ready to sit down for dinner but I had eaten already so I just visited while they ate.

7/16 - Raph had to get a part to repair the air conditioning in the van so I went with him and then we stopped off at a park, where a great nephew (Simon) was playing T Ball.  Actually, it was a practice since his game is tomorrow.  We then spent the rest of the day relaxing.  I had the privilege of helping with a 2 1/2 month old little girl that is staying with them at this time. That was alot of fun.

Today, I went to church with Raph and Gina and then to Fredericksburg, Ohio for lunch at an extended family's house.  It had been ages since I had seen Eli, Susie, Tena and Sara.  I also met Sara's daughter and Eli's daughter.  We had a great visit.  Left their house around 4:45 or so and got back to Columbus, Ohio around 6:15pm.  Traveling went well but good to be home again.  Now need to unpack and make some phone calls.
