New Year's Eve.

Today Lisa drove us over to Leon's for the afternoon.  We visited with him and Lynn, then he took us over to see the new unit he has purchased in the Condominium Complex he lives in.  The new unit is double the size and is just studded out.  He is having the work all custom done with upgraded finishes rather than the standard condo finishes.  It is quite impressive. 

The Architects have been in and drawn up the plans for all the changes

It`s a very nice complex

The new unit will have an upper balcony as well as the lower porch. 

We`ll get to see it finished next time we come down for a visit. 



We then went back to his first unit and Loreen and Carmelo and Brittany and her boyfriend joined us. 

We visited with them for a while then called it a day and came back to Lisa`s. 

We spent a quiet evening at home while the others went out to celebrations elsewhare this evening.

A Visit with Georgie, and Chinese Food

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.  .
