(Bill's out of town attending a big family gathering in Wisconsin. Verna stayed behind, because her mom has just moved into her new room in the nursing wing of Mason Christian Village, and she didn't feel good about leaving town. Plus, she and Donovan are moving her mom's stuff out of her assisted living apartment today. Verna's telling her mom and herself that they'll store it all in case she can move back to assisted living. But Verna doesn't really believe that will happen.)
Then we retreated to Barnes and Noble and snagged a table and chairs on the balcony outside their Starbucks. That was our landing place for catching-up conversation in full view of the beautiful Cincinnati skyline, with motorboats slowly slipping up and down the river.
After awhile we bought cookies and lattes and kept the conversation going till the Cincinnati Reds ballgame ended and the Reds' Friday Night Fireworks began.
It's a wonderful show from inside the stadium. But even though you can't hear the recorded soundtrack from across the river, the fireworks light up the sky above the river for anyone nearby to enjoy. We enjoyed them! By the time the 25-minute show was finished, we were satisfied, and we ambled slowly out of the bookstore and to our car. It had become almost cool outside, and Evelyn was glad she brought something with sleeves to wear.
We didn't get home till well after 11:30, and I decided just to go to bed instead of trying to post last night. But maybe I'll make up for it by posting twice today!
