Time Flew!

Powell, Ohio
Leaving Titusville, we headed for a little town in Ohio just outside of Columbus where we stayed with long time friends we’ve not seen since our wedding in 2002, Stacy and Vince and their kids Max and Maddy. The kids are teenagers now and we had a great time catching up. These guys have 3 dogs, one of them is so absolutely ugly that he’s got to be the cutest dog we’ve ever seen. Another long time friend, Tina, came to hang out with her kids Samantha and Zac who have grown up too and are in college and driving cars and stuff! (whoa, time flies!) The next morning I got up early with them and put on a bright florescent green vest and gloves and grabbed a bright orange trash bag and went along with them to pick up rubbish along a two mile span of freeway for their ‘Adopt A Highway’ program. I may have looked like a convict, but I had a great feeling after picking up a bunch of trash. We didn’t find anything spectacular this time (they do this 8 times a year), but we kept our eyes out for cash tucked into old cigarette boxes, random porno and the like. Time was short seeing these guys, but after an hour of our Tongan holiday propaganda, we hope we might see them again soon.
