First Time in Toledo!

Yesterday afternoon, my granddaughter #2, Heather, and I, had a pleasant drive from Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A., north to Toledo, Ohio.  The traffic was extremely heavy and construction delays were frequent.  It was so easy to only have to travel on one road, I-75.  That hardly ever happens.

Ohio is almost one big cornfield!  Other than the mega-cities of Cincinnati and Dayton, and the smaller cities such as Piqua ("pick-wa"), Ohio is mostly flat.  The corn looks good, somewhat dry in places, but there's lots of it.  The farms here are much grander than those in my Kentucky, but not as awesome as the ranches in Texas.

We're visiting Heather's mother, my daughter #4, Theresa.  Last night we enjoyed an especially fine, authentic Italian dinner at Dibenedettos in Bowling Green.  Later we indulged in sundaes at Mel-O-Creme, also in Bowling Green.  This is a walk-up-to-the-window take-out eatery.  My sundae was Pumpkin Creme.

We have a fun, special day planned for tomorrow!
