Grandma and Grandpa's 60th anniversary party was an ice cream social. I think they enjoyed it. I know that the grandkids had a great time serving up sundaes and root beer floats.

We visited our Ohio friends (met during the grad school days in Urbana, IL) the K's that will soon live in Bowling Green. Here's a funny law in Ohio: a buyer can't move into their house until 30 days after closing. The motivation for the law was to help sellers in case the buyers backed out at the last minute. The Ohioans purchased two weeks before we arrived, so they could only show us the outside and pix from their initial visits. It looks good from these, but we look forward to seeing the whole thing in person.
Perhaps the biggest story about the Ohio visit was that we rode there on the bikes. Had the K's lived in Bowling Green our ride would have been 20 miles shorter. Since they don't we got to ride about 150 miles there, which seemed doable in a day since the wind usually blows westerly. Perhaps some day I'll write a more detailed report about the trip, but this distance was taxing. It was hot. About 120 miles into it, Jill had stomach problems. We had a marital strife. But we arrived at the K's in Perrysburg, OH at 8:45 in the evening after leaving Warsaw, IN at 7 am. A new Chad and Jill distance record for a day.
Lots of fun was had by all. Like most good things, it was over really quickly, but we're glad to be back home now.
