Signs

I haven't seen many interesting signs lately but this one is from the Toledo Zoo.

Big storms in the area last night but we were all fine in Perrysburg. Lots of rain has no carts on the golf course though so we will have to either walk or postpone play today.

The zoo and a new car

AJ and I went to the zoo last week and although it was hot we had a great time. He especially enjoyed the new Natures Neighborhood activities. Although we got to see all of the animals he wanted to see it was hard to get pictures with AJ and the animal together.


The month of May ended on a high note with a new car for Mike. He is now the proud owner of a new Kia Forte. We picked it up on Saturday morning and he is happy again. Now his challenge is finding a new apartment or a roommate.

Car is totaled

We got the word from the adjuster today and the Honda is going to be totaled. Mike will need another car soon because I am not going to be driving to BG twice a day. Mike seems okay with that and I am anxious to get him behind the wheel again. I am sure there will be some anxiety on both of our parts when he resumes driving but I also feel the sooner it happens the better. He is somewhat housebound this weekend without wheels. I offered to bring him home for the weekend but he declined, instead preferring his regular schedule of laundry and cleaning. We stopped at the store and the bank on the way home from work yesterday and so I know he has all of the provisions he needs for a weekend of TV and cleaning.

Bad day good day

Started the day on Tuesday with a phone call from Mike that he had an accident on the way to work. He slid off the wet road on a rainy morning and hit a dumpster in a junk yard. Fortunately no one was hurt and the only real damage was to Mikes car. He went to work and I dealt with the sheriff and the insurance company. We are awaiting the adjusters recommendation now. So much for Tuesday bad day.

Wednesday was a good day because I went to the Imagination Station (the old COSI) with AJ. We had so much fun playing with all of the science games. Redirecting the water was fun too but we both got pretty wet with that activity as you can see from the picture. The next picture is the activity about magnets. We build a bridge between the two large magnets with the bolts. The third picture is AJ with his BP hardhat on at the refinery activity. Unfortunately we were not able to stop the leak in the gulf but we had fun stuffing balls into a refinery pipe. We topped the morning off by visiting Steve in his office. AJ enjoyed looking at Toledo from 9 floors up.

So as I post this on Thursday morning I am hoping for a continuation of the good day on Wednesday. I definitely do not want a repeat of Tuesday for a long time. Mike continues to be fine with just a little body soreness which I expected based on the way his car impacted.

Did April forget May??

It is beginnning to seem like the months of April and May switched. Where is the warm weather? We have had rain and cold temperatures for the entire month of May. We started the spring golf season great in April but it has been downhill since. Today was the opening shamble and between the wind, cold temperatures and wet conditions from all of the rain last week it was not great golf. if global warming is truly happening it doesn't seem to be here in Northwest Ohio.

Golf Photos from the past and present

Yesterday as I was searching old photos for one of my mom I came across these two old shots of John and Jessica. They were taken when we stayed on Anna Maria Island, in March of 1985. John was just over 4 years old and Jessica just over 2. How ironic to find them yesterday after just posting the pictures of AJ on Sunday.
