More Travel

 Mrs. Curley and I drove to Akron, OH and back this weekend. Number 2 son and wife live just outside Akron. 

It is about a 9 hour drive without stopping, but of course we stopped. The Ford E-350 had just turned 300K miles last week, but it performed like a champion, even increasing its mpg during the trip..

We had a lot of fun. Wished our kids lived closer. We got to confession, heard Mass at a beautiful church on Sunday, found a couple great breakfast spots, went for a couple walks, and overall had a great time.

On the way back, we contemplated taking a long route through Columbus, Dayton, Cincinatti, and (I think) Knoxville, but ended up opting for the shortest route. This allowed us to visit the Tamarack marketplace in West Virginia which we have never stopped at before. 

We saw some interesting crafts. It looks like wooden cutting boards must be the rage because we saw many, many of them.

It is really good to be home. It is raining, today which should help the corn finish out. We are picking tomatoes and peppers and squash and brussell sprouts, and beans, and .... The harvest is plenty.

No more travel for me for a good time now.

Oremus pro invicem!
