Ohio
Saturday, May 15 & Sunday, May 16
It has been a long time since we saw a Goodyear blimp.
This sighting was in Akron, Ohio.
TFC chapel in Lodi, Ohio.
Gary Nussbaum (right) asked us to stop here because he wanted to check with Cerwin for advice/confirmation on making chapel repairs. Gary serves in the Office of Chaplains as Director of Church and Community Development. He is also a chaplain here.
Chaplain Grant was on duty when we arrived.
Chaplain Jason (right), Gary’s son came to replace Grant partway through our visit.
While there, I also fulfilled a responsibility for Inge (photo for the Highway News) in finding a trucker who was working on his laptop. This driver gladly obliged my photo-taking.

After leaving the truckstop, we followed Gary to their house where we spent the evening. They are serious birders, and enjoy feeding and watching birds.

Left to right: Pearl, Gary, Dave (a friend of theirs) Cerwin, and Shannon (their daughter-in-law) who is the wife of Jason who you just met at the chapel. Their daughter Christianna was slouching in her highchair.

Pearl makes the best pickled, cabbage-stuffed peppers.
Delicious rhubarb pie
We were delighted to see and indigo bunting on Sunday morning.
After breakfast Pearl put grape jelly in a few of her feeders. This draws the Baltimore orioles.
We saw a few orioles, but they didn’t stay long enough for a photo.
Other scenery in their backyard.
It was a delight to spend time with them.

You will have to wait until tomorrow night to see photos from our visit with ata-grandma on Sunday afternoon.
