Ohio: Family and Friends

Every September, over Labor Day weekend, we meet my sister and her husband.  This is the second year that we met at the State Park at Mochican.  It is a great park, one of our favorite.  Bill, my brother-in-law, is a master fire builder.  We enjoyed many fires and a few too many glasses of wine around campfires.


While we were here, we had a chance to get Bob's pacemaker checked.  Haven't done it since May.  You have to find a land line to check it.  Anyway, he was in a-fib again.  Thankfully my sister works for a Pediatric Cardiologist and he was able to get us into to see someone quickly.
That's my excuse for no pictures here.  

After a week in Mochican, we drove closer to my sister's home in Cuyahoga Falls and camped at West Branch.  This is either our 3rd or 4th time camping here.
We saw the referred cardiologist on Tuesday and Bob needed a Caridoversion.  This was to be his third, so it wasn't a surprise.  We saw Dr. V. on Tuesday and Thursday Bob got rebooted at Akron General Hospital.

Tuesday evening, I met with 13 of my former classmates from high school.  Class of 1967.  We look pretty good I think.



By Friday morning, Bob was back to normal and we continued our stay with my family.  We went to dinner Friday with my  niece Andrea and a friend of my sister, who usually camps with us Patty.

Bob and Bill.  Bob was out of the hospital one day here.  You can see he looks good.

The next day the rest of my nieces and their family came out to West Branch for a BBQ.

My great nieces, Gracie and Lucy.
Don't we grow pretty children.


  And Melainee and Lydia our youngest.

I was so thankful to have family near when Bob had an emergency.  God also seems to know what we need when we need it.  Love our time with family and friends.
