HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL

Thursday, March 27 - Today is Paul's birthday! We won't go into his exact age. He did say, “Once he reached 60, he subtracts a year instead of adding one.” How long until the gray hair starts to disappear?

Happy Birthday!!!
Paul

We continued our travels northward today reaching Cincinnati, Ohio, before lunchtime.

welcome to ohio

We are here to meet good friends and fellow RVers, Cathy and Don. We met them years ago at the Tiffin Repair Facility in Red Bay, Alabama and have remained good friends. We were able to reconnect two years ago in Fredericksburg, TX. They have a home in Cincinnati and travel whenever the urge strikes them.

We are staying at Cedarbrook Campground just outside of Cincinnati in Lebanon, Ohio. This is a nice park. The FHU sites are gravel, and the streets are gravel. There is a paved pad, picnic table, and fire ring at each site. The sites are well spaced. It has the feeling of a “summer” campground that the locals use to “get away” for awhile.

The good news is it isn't SNOWING. The weather is a little cool but remember, this is Ohio....JEESH!!! Today high temperature is suppose to be 60 degrees, but we doubt it will get that high. Current temperature at 2 p.m. is 45 degrees, which is the forecast for tonight's low. Don't know how to figure that one???

After getting the RV set up, we took showers and waited for Cathy and Don. They invited us to their home for dinner and drinks. Can't beat that! They have a very beautiful home. Their house is in an area around a beautiful lake.

Thanks for a wonder time Cathy and Don! Dinner and drinks were awesome.

After an enjoyable evening, we were chauffeured back to our campsite to relax and rest up for the last leg of our trip. Tomorrow we'll cover the last 200 miles diagonally across Ohio, to Canton. We have a very busy spring and summer. We will let you know how everything is going. Enjoy your spring.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!

  1. Happy Birthday, Paul!! Please let me know how that disappearing grey thing works, and how long I have to wait to begin the backward movement:)

    Looks like a nice overnight spot. Who doesn't love catching up with friends who also supply dinner!! Lucky you!

  5. Hope you had a great birthday with friends.
    If you have not driven fast, our paths may have crossed, we are at Dauphin Island for the next two weeks and another three at Gulf State Park.
    It looks like there is no more snow up there, we are heading up north after AL.

    By the way Marsha, as you suggested my header pic is now in my post as a goodbye.Thank you that was a great tip.

  12. Happy 39th birthday, Paul. Isn't that the age Jack Benny chose to stay at? Glad to hear your travels home have been uneventful. There is a way to get rid of that grey but not sure Paul wants to start using a bottle of dye on it.

  13. I am encouraged to see the lack of snow that far north & those temperatures are encouraging for our homeward trek soon. With Birthdays kind of catching up to us faster each year we still try to outrun them It's getting harder. All the best on your Birthday Paul:))

    Glad to see green grass and hope that's all you see until you get safely home.
