Catching up with an old friend

Had the opportunity to check in with Mike Ohlinger from HS and band. He and I ran together some during school and he went on to be part of the US Army band then settled in Baltimore. We met at his lovely house and talked about old times then out to dinner where we met one of his longtime friends in Baltimore and his son. After dinner it was off to the Ravens game with New Orleans. He is a long-time season ticket holder. Seats in the 3rd row are sure different than watching the game on TV. The final score was not what the faithful wanted as their “never misses” kicker missed an extra point and did not send the game into overtime. Still a good time was had by all and it was good to meet Tony and AJ.

Family time

Carol played hostess for a long weekend visit to PA. Mike and Tracy brought Willa to visit too. We were rained out of picking apples but got some delicious cider and a very cute pic of Willa playing on hay bales. We spent an afternoon/evening with the Wasik clan filled with great company and delicious food. There was pumpkin carving too that resulted in some great looking jack-o-lanterns.
Willa is 4 months old and getting to be quite the individual. There was lots of Nana time (and Grandpa time) filled with hugs, kisses and giggles and even a bath. It was wonderful and it went by way too fast.
