We enjoyed an 18-hour visit by Jim and Norma Pierson starting yesterday afternoon about 2:00 through breakfast time this morning. When we visited with them last month, we persuaded them to stop by here on their way home from a trip to Wisconsin where Jim was speaking and Chicago where one of his daughters lives with her husband. As we expected, we had a wonderful time!
We decided on the spur of the moment to go downtown to the Cincinnati Museum Center to see the special Pompeii exhibit on display there till August. We learned a lot; it was very well done. We enjoyed it!
Then we came home to enjoy Honey Baked Ham ribs warmed on the grill, Evelyn's potato salad that always bring raves, and Bush's baked beans. (Jim told us there's a Bush's baked beans museum and restaurant not far from where they live! It's on our list to visit sometime when we get south again.)
It was an afternoon and evening full of laughter and great visiting, punctuated by a fun experience and good food.
The good food continued this morning as Evelyn made us Dutch Babies for breakfast, accompanied by a bowl of the first peaches of the season. They weren't freestone, but they were very tasty!
The Piersons were on the road before 8:30, and I headed off to work. We had been working ahead since Jim Nieman is on vacation for two weeks, so today was a good day to do some planning and tend to some tasks that kept falling to the bottom of my to-do list.
It rained overnight and into the afternoon, but surprisingly, the grass wasn't wet and the ground wasn't soggy after supper, so (for the record) we mowed. (That fertilizer I put down on Memorial Day is really working!)
