Kelly & I were up and out the door a little before 9am. The boys were still sleeping as they were up very late playing video games. We parked at our friend Trent Perry’s house a few blocks off the Diamond, then walked down town. We went in a few antique stores, explored some craft booths, and checked out the food vendors.
I saw my friends Barry and Bruce’s niece Brandi, and got to ask about their baby Levi. It was good to see her! Then we stopped a few minutes to talk to Stoney’s niece Debbie – she had her daughters Heather and Christine with her. Haven’t seen her for several years. We found a pet rock for Logan, and took a quick break on the butterfly bench.
We loved seeing the houses decorated for fall. Ligonier is such a quaint, appealing little town. We tasted a few dips and decided on the loaded baked potato one, then came home and made it. We also got a bag of Snails from the Pie Shoppe. Yum!
We had fresh cut French fries for lunch, with melted cheese. Once we got home, we made the cinnamon rolls so Kelly could take them to Peyton tomorrow. The boys wanted pizza so we ordered that and I drove over to Carbon to pick it up. Now the boys are playing games, Kelly is working on school projects, and I’m typing! It was a fun, sunny, enjoyable day! A great blessing!
From the memory book – March 8th: When on car trips, did you play car games? We didn’t go very often on car “trips.” With 8 in the small old Pontiac we just talked. I got motion sickness so it was no fun going very far. Greensburg or New Kensington were as far as we traveled. We did count cows & when we passed a cemetery we had to “bury” them & start over.” We used to play that, too. Oh, what kids miss today!
On this day in 1945 the microwave oven was patented by Percy Spencer. In 1971 “Imagine” by John Lennon was released, and in 1998 President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trail began. Chevy Chase was born in 1943; John Hancock – first to sign the Declaration of Independence – died at age 56 in 1793, and Franklin Pierce, 14th President, died in 1869 at age 64.
