Last day in Ohio

September 14 -  After breakfast Bill put the DEF fluid in that he got at Camping World the other day and he put the Cleveland Indians license plate on the front of the RV that he got last night.  Then he showered and left to check a couple of other stores for his shirt on the way to meet some former football players he coached at Lake HS in the early 70’s. 

I checked the washer again and could not believe the thing was working today.  I stripped the bed and made a load of wash.  The problem is we have no where to put but so much dirty laundry in here.  My little hamper is just that, little.  I normally sort a load into the washer as it gets dirty.   I spent most of my day on the computer catching up the blog, email and trying to get stuff in line to file a claim for our motel stays and meals during the RV breakdown.  No one is open until tomorrow and I have questions to ask of course.  I did more ant spraying and bleach spraying.  I looked again to see if I can tell where the funny smell is with no luck.  I did find some things fell out of the drawers in the kitchen and had to take them out to reach the stuff. 

Bill got home around 4:45 and we were to meet other friends of his, Jane and Clyde at their house at 6:15 to go to dinner.  Bill wanted me to see their house that they have been working on for 35 or more years.  It’s in a very nice gated community and they have done a lot of landscaping and make over of the inside.  It was very nicely done but most was not my taste.  It didn’t make me feel at home at all it was more formal.  They took us to an area on the Maumee River across from downtown Toledo where there were 4 restaurants together on the water.  People can drive their boat up and dock and have dinner and exit via water.  We chose the Mexican one.  The service was excellent and the food was good.   After dinner they drove us around so Bill could see the changes in downtown Toledo.  Many of the old buildings have been neglected as in many places.  They do have a beautiful art museum and several impressive works of art scattered. 

Bill especially enjoyed his visit with them as they were friends of Jim McKenzie who Bill was friends with in Florida for years.  Clyde and Jane lived in Florida a short time and they shared stories of their friend Jim who died 2 summers ago.  It was good for them to relive those times. 

We didn’t get home until after 10 so we read for a while and tidied things up to leave tomorrow and head south.  Bill went to bed first and my feet got cold and I was being considerate and not turning the light on to find my house socks and hit my head right above my left eye on the night stand.  It hurt so bad!  I ended up waking him, oops!
