This is Lola the psychotic ball of fur that almost died after ripping my Levis to shreds and placing me in great peril of bleeding to death....OK, so she only broke the skin with a mere trickle of blood...she still almost evolved.

I had more of Kyle’s mushroom gravy generously poured over light-as-a-feather, pop-out-of-the-roll biscuits than I should have but hey, what’s Thanksgiving without pigging out a little? Besides, I went gentle with the rest of the entrées so I only ½ oinked.
A great time with son Sean, his wife Christina and kids, Kyle, Chloe and Greta. Your kids can’t teach you anything, right? Wrong. Sean showed me “Tool Time” tricks that boosted my fix-it-guy five notches on the handy man meter. We pulled out all the old fixtures in their bathroom, changed the wall color to soft emerald green and then installed new brushed silver hardware--complete with oval mirror. Sure we made plenty of mistakes but learning is half the fun. We were within a 32nd. of an inch of disaster but didn’t know it until we peeked into a drilled hole to see the slightest of penetration on a plastic water pipe. Now THAT would not have been fun.
Sunday afternoon Jackie and I were were back in the rig speeding down I-75 making it to Lima, Ohio where the night temps were still below freezing with stiff winds. Tonight we’re in Chillicothe, Ohio after a little detour through the town of Bellefontaine to roll across the first piece of pavement laid in the US of A. 1886 If your interested take a look at the whole story…. Temps above freezing tonight....High five!
