So it is Monday and Earl and I have been home for just shy of 24 hours. Tomorrow morning I board a plane and head to the greater Dallas, Texas area for work; this was not planned until I received a phone call while we were in the more rural area of Wisconsin. Though things are wicked busy at work and at home, I’m looking forward to this little trip.
When all was said and done, Earl and I hit 11 states in 11 days and 3506 miles. On Saturday morning we left Louisville and made the short drive to London, Ohio, where we met up with Tim and Kevin. Tim and I have been chatting regularly since February or so; they finally hunted me down because Tim collects the *exact* same clocks that I collect. I must say, he has a beautiful collection of these clocks.
We drove around Columbus and went to dinner in their ’61 Lincoln Continental convertible, complete with suicide doors. A couple people yelled “Green Acres” at us!
And we had chocolate covered bacon!
It look obscene but tasted wonderful!
Yesterday morning the four of us met Tim and Kevin’s dear friends Mitch and Sheri where we had a fabulous brunch on the patio before we headed home in the Jeep. 10 1/2 hours later, we were home.
And tomorrow, I hit the road again.
That red clock is most excellent!
And speaking of excellent, whichever host is in the passenger seat has a most excellent mustache!
That would be Kevin. He wears that mustache really well. They are quite the handymen when it comes to refinishing these clocks. Beautiful work. And their loft is absolutely gorgeous!
(Oh, and something I noticed tonight: when I post a comment, it says I posted it 3 hours ago immediately after I post it.)
I’m noticing that the time on hans is a little wonky lately. I need to check and make sure my time settings on WordPress are set properly. My posts were coming in at 88 MPH from the future!
The fu-u-u-u-t-t-t-ure!!!!
