Today was a good day. The dogs actually let us sleep until 6:30! Now that is sleeping in! Now if they could just do that a little more often we'd love it.
My sister, Lita, is down from Michigan visiting friends and family for a few days. Today Lita, Russ and I went to Wooster to The Barn Restaurant. It was very nice over there. We haven't been there for quite a long time. The pond was so pretty. There are ducks and geese all over the place always looking for a handout. They were following us all over but we didn't feed them because there were so many. They all looked well fed anyway. We had a really nice meal and a nice drive over and back.
We came home to our house and Lita got to meet Marlasser, our big Mastiff. That was an experience for her! He greeted her enthusiastically, to say the least. Lita is not really a "dog person" but she handled it well! We got to chat a lot and catch up on all the family news. Then we went to Mansfield Restaurant for a light dinner. Tomorrow morning we are meeting at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Seems like all we do when we get together is eat! That's the Lautzenhisers for you.
That might sound like a boring day to most people but it was a lovely day for me. I don't get to see my sister often.
Tomorrow is another day.

Thinking Again
I see I have not posted on my blog for a long time. It must just be laziness! My last post was about getting ready to go to Europe. My sister and I have been there and have been back a long time. Since the middle of April.
Our trip was just wonderful! My nephew Matt was a great guide. We had to remind him we couldn't keep walking as fast, as long and as far as he could. We saw such wonderful sights and had delicious foods. Airports are not that much fun! The flight was long but it was worth it. I'd go right away if I could!! Back to Milan and southern Switzerland. I loved it there. I liked Cologne, Ger. too. What a wonderful experience and one I am so grateful to have had.
Now I'm home and things have been back to "normal" for some time. We're having this HOT summer along with everyone else which makes it hard to get outside and do any gardening in the flower beds. Unless of course, you get out there about 7 AM. This morning I did and enjoyed it. But it got really hot in a hurry. I'm hoping we get the rain that the forecaster said we'd get tomorrow. Our house is surrounded by cornfields this year. The poor corn's leaves are curling begging for those wonderful refreshing drops of rain to fall on them and give them that much needed moisture.
I'm getting a lot of reading done this summer too. I love Amish fiction and historical romances. I just finished Ann Gabhart's new book, The Gifted and just loved it. I also read her Words Spoken True and Angel Sister. Those are great as well. Now I'm reading Mary Ellis' Abigal's New Hope. I just "found" Samantha Jillian Bayaar and got her Jacob's Daughter books for Kindle last night. Books one through six! Love series!!! I have a large pile of books to read which always makes me happy. There are so many new authors of Amish fiction now which is really nice. Keep those books coming!!
And, speaking of reading, now that's what I'm going to do. Have a wonderful evening everyone.
