How fun! I’d love to try a zip line, but I have a terrible fear of heights and am afraid of having a cataplexy attack. I think I’d do ok with one low to the ground, if that’s even possible.

Most of my Dutch ancestors came from Holland in the very late 1890s/early 1900s and eventually lived in Cleveland, Ohio. All four of my great-grandparents on my mom’s side came between 1910-1915, and settled in Cleveland. It’s also where my mom was born. I have never been to Ohio, but I hope to go someday. I have already done a lot of research there through the internet and snail mail, but I’d love to have about a week there just to do more research and to see where my family lived. My mom was about 14 years old when her family moved to Pasadena, California. Several Dutch families and friends moved to southern California around the same time. They wanted year-round sunshine and no more Ohio winters. I loved your information about Ohio (plus your riddle! 😁). I’ve never heard of the pawpaw fruit before. I’m going to have to look that up and ask my mom too!

I love deviled eggs! I’m so sorry the upset my twin’s tummy. Bixby hasn’t ever had a deviled egg, but he does love hard boiled eggs and comes running when her hears someone peeling one. Out here we have tv and radio stations in the Portland area with helicopters who report on the traffic. It’s notoriously bad around the Portland area, and it seems that rush hour isn’t just in the mornings and evenings anymore...it’s all day long. I can’t drive up there anymore, so I try to sleep through it. 😴 The only jersey I have anymore is one from my university. I used to have a favorite Dodger’s one years ago when I followed them religiously, but I don’t have it and don’t follow the Dodgers anymore.

We will leave the deviled and hard boiled eggs hugs at home and send you some pretty white trillium flower hugs (Ohio’s state wildflower). Trilliums grow out here too, and they’re such pretty flowers with pretty leaves! 🤗🤗🌺🌼🌸💖😘🍃🍁🍂
