Adrian to Bicycle Museum to Louisville to Colorado


I met Rosemary for breakfast. We had a nice chat and then got one of the nuns to take our picture. I really enjoyed my visit, almost like going on retreat.

I got on the road, and stopped in New Bremen Ohio, the home of the Crown fork lift truck company. The owner of the company has been collecting bicycles, and started a very nice museum. The town is very tidy also, with many of the old buildings fixed up and used for company offices. Some of the bikes were those that I remembered from my youth. Perhaps the one that hit closest to home was the 1967 Schwinn Town and Country tricycle. The summer that I worked in the Reynolds Aluminum plant, I rode a tricycle just like that, same color, as well as fixing them. I had a lot of hours on and around those bikes that summer.

The other bike pictures were the Hopalong Cassidy bike and costume, and an army bike with rifle.

I stopped at my mom's house in Louisville to install an updated life safety alarm for my mother. Unfortunately, the new box did not solve the problem, so I made arrangements to have a new phone jack installed and move the box to a more central location.

I turned in my rental car at the Louisville airport, arriving in plenty of time to catch my flight back to Colorado.

Wonderful photos. The one of Molly in her purple and the lovley place of adornment for Our Lady seemed quite special. The bird and the sunset, too, caught my eye. Hope that the Pepto has done the marvelous deed to the do. That is not a good feeling. I know of what you suffer, Molly. Keep on having beautiful days, good meals, friends around you and the native people to delight and bring their unique love. Happy Sunday morning. Eileen In AZ
