Three Foxes and a Doenges

Baba, Grandpa and Uncle Edgar with the 1st birthday girl Leona. She is 1 year and 2 days old in this photo. Almost looks like she is a football referee and giving the sign for a touchdown.
This morning I woke up refreshed as I enjoyed the extra hour of sleep. I asked Mike if he enjoyed his extra hour and he responded, “What extra hour?” Nothing very special about the morning. It was an overcast day and Mike went into church extra-early to help out. So, I just relaxed at home and worked on the blog.
Edgar and I had a lunch date today. Mike had to work this afternoon, so it is fair if I drive down to his place for lunch, instead of him driving up to our house all the time. We went to the Blue Danube restaurant, just north of the OSU campus. As we were looking at the menu, I asked Edgar what was good. I told Edgar that I had never been here before. He was surprised as I had gone to OSU. But, I lived on south campus and I didn’t have a car and there was no free bus pass. It was a good brunch meal and we will come back again with Mike as they have a great assortment of hamburgers.
More fun and food tomorrow as we celebrate a couple of birthdays.
This year, Lynn has spent a lot of time and money remodeling her home. We all have suggested that she have a housewarming party. Well, this is that day. Her invite went out with the caption of ‘Get Your Hour Back!’ as this is the weekend of the time change back to Eastern Standard Time and we set our clocks back an hour.
Two brave souls decided to ride their bicycles today. Jeff and I, bundled up, and rode out to Der Dutchman in Plain City for coffee and breakfast. Since the sun started to peek out of the clouds, we decided to ride the ‘Cheese Loop’. This is just a two-mile additional loop that goes by the Cheese House. I stopped to get some cheese and peanut-butter pretzels and we then went to the Plain City Thrift Shop.
An annual tradition is to travel to Confluence PA and ride on portions of the Great Allegheny Passage. This trail has one end at the edge of Pittsburgh and another in Cumberland MD. In Cumberland, the trail connects to the C & O dirt trail that continues on to Washington DC.
On our first ride, we travel to Confluence from the Yough Stop camping cabin, to ride to OhioPyle for our lunch stop. This is a pleasant town that is a tourist town for users of the trail and the river.
Cecelia and Kevin, Leona’s Mom and Dad, found the perfect place for the first birthday party. The party was at a picnic shelter at Blendon Woods Metro Park. There is a large covered picnic shelter with plenty of tables and electricity for any crock pots and lighting.
This week, I had two bicycle rides with Leona and one ride without. We are having cooler weather in the morning and that makes it a more pleasant riding time with Leona. Monday we rode from Leona’s house on the Three Creeks Trail down to Heron Pond parking lot. Leona is working to perfect her walking skills (or is it toddling skills?). She just enjoys walking around and exploring her environment. We arrived about 9:30 am and walked around the grassy area, said hello to some dogs going for a walk and dropping shoes. I first thought that one foot is bigger than the other and that is why Leona would drop a shoe off her foot when I would pick her up, but she would drop either shoe.
We arrived at the bagel shop and enjoyed a mid-morning snack. Cecelia went to her yoga class and beeped her horn as she passed us by at the bagel shop.
