Wellington Wonders

After we left the Tangen Family Reunion on Sunday morning, we headed back east toward Cleveland, but stopped our journey at our friends Dave and Ruth's house in Lorain, where we used to live  We had been great friends the years that we lived in Ohio.  We loved our time in Ohio!  Seeing them again was just like old times and we settled right back into the routine -- a great part of which was the fact that our ethnically Syrian, totally American, friend is a great cook.  We ate well while we were there.  The only thing we didn't get that would have been the topper of the cuisine would have been his marvelous lamb chops.  That is not to complain, but just to let you know how good they are in case you ever get invited over..  Mmm.  I'm drooling just thinking about it.

One of the things we wanted to do when we visited again was to take a trip back down Hwy 58 through Oberlin to Wellington, Ohio.  We spent the four years in Wellington coveting the houses.  There are a large number of Italianate and Victorian homes.  This is a small example of the houses in Wellington, and not at all one of the dramatic ones.  Can you believe we didn't actually take any photos of the houses, the four of us just drove along oohing and ahhing over them.  My husband took this photo for the trees, not the house. I think it's a oak.   Oh well, next time we go to Wellington, we'll take photos to post.

In the evening we "dropped in" on another family with whom we had been friends.  Their old phone number didn't work, so we just drove to their house and knocked on the door.  At least they recognized us and Tammy and Bill look just the same.  Another fun filled evening reminiscing and then it was back to Lorain for the last evening.  The next morning brought continuation of the journey to our daughter's army boot-camp graduation!

Thanks friends for a wonderful time and great visits!  Sorry for missing so many others that we love such as Scott and Briana to name one more family.
