7/2/16 - On 6/29, Aunt Ada stayed home and I went for dinner at Jonas and Arlou Beachy's house.  They are my first cousins.  Their kids, Jamie and Clinton were also in attendance.  We had a wonderful time and the dinner was delicious.  We had planned to cut some spearmint tea but did too much talking so now I need to go back and get some.

6/30 - We left in the afternoon and visited Uncle Val, Aunt Anna, Aunt Martha.  Uncle Paul was gone but just as we were leaving he did come home so we chatted for a few minutes.  I got a call from nephew Peter who is a long distance truck driver and he was stopped for the night in northern Columbus so I hurried home and then left for north Columbus.  I did get to see him and his wife Lawanda who is traveling with him.  It was great to see both of them.

I was able to sit in the driver's seat of his huge loaded rig.  What a feeling!!
