We took the day off on December 29th and just hung out around the house. We vegged out and watched TV and visited with Lisa and her twins Racheal and Micheal, that is when they were not working. Lisa has the whole week off, but the kids both have steady jobs they have to go to, when they are not at University, which doesn't resume until mid-January. We needed a good rest after the long drive, but yesterday we were raring to go. So, off we went to Akron for a visit with Georgina, my old school chum, and the widow of Dan's best man, whom we haven't seen for years. We had a nice afternoon at her place. A few drinks and a lot of laughs, reminding each other of old times and old memories. We also met Bill, Georgina's friend and companion of the last number of years. Georgie and Gary's son Steven stopped by for a visit.
My goodness, if it weren't for his stature, which he certainly inherited from his father, Gary Holcroft, I would have sworn, I was sitting talking to his Grandfather Garnet McClelland. His looks and mannerisms were so much like him. I haven't seen any of the children for sometime and it was nice to catch up and put the memories of them, as little children, into the prospective of grown adults. All in all it was a very pleasant visit and stroll down memory lane. When we got back to Youngstown we decided to make a night of it and go out for Chinese food. So, that's the latest from Ohio. .
