Work Week – Day 3

CheriGENERAL

Day 3 – Monday We started the day with a quick birthday celebration for Cara.  Tim’s parents, sister and (baby) nephew arrived bright and early with breakfast.  Visiting with family over coffee and cuddling with a sweet baby boy, it was tempting to linger all morning.  However, with a Friday deadline looming to get the … Read More

Work week

Over a week ago Mr. D and I hit the road and headed East.  And South.  We had work waiting for us in The Nati.  Cincinnati. We also had work to finish at The Cottage before we could spend 12 hours relaxing on the road.  Before loading the car, we unloaded the great room.  As in … Read More

Passing it on…

While visiting our kids in Cincinnati we dined out a few times.  It’s pretty much standard procedure for us to hit up Skyline one night (a four-way for Mr. D, and a three-way for me) and Dewey’s pizza, just down the street from the kids, on another night. On this visit, Cara requested to make … Read More

Fun at the park

We still play at the park and I still try to take pictures of our <adult> children at the park some times it’s easier to get them to cooperate than other times and sometimes there are many “takes” involved after sitting in the car for a day, it felt so good to get out and … Read More

Our Family. Together. One of my favorite things to do in Cincinnati, besides spend time with our kids who live there — is visit the beautiful city parks. This trip we … Read More

Cincinnati Adventure

CheriCREATIVE ENDEAVORS, FAVORITE PHOTOS, GENERAL

Back in February Mr. D and I spent a few days in Cincinnati visiting our girl.  While Mr. D worked remotely, and Cara worked, I found different ways to keep busy.   One day while planning my free time, I got this crazy idea to contact Pastor Ryan and see if he’d be interested in … Read More

THAT was another long day. In. the. car. Once again, DIY Guy is my hero.  He drove all but one hour of the 12 hour trip. I tried to drive, really I did.  It’s just that sometimes usually I am afflicted with a case of the sleepies once I get behind the wheel. We had an … Read More

On the road again…

DIY Guy and I spent all day yesterday on the road.  All day.  We pulled out of The Cottage driveway at 7:00 am (CST) and headed South and East.  At 9:15 pm EST we pulled up in front of Wild One’s apartment. We decided not to rush this trip, so we stopped at my mom’s … Read More
