persona

Ah, opinions. I have a lot of them. As time’s gone on, I feel I’ve done a better job of learning when to keep my big mouth shut. You could very well view each entry below as an instance of my failing to do so. Still, not every one of these posts will be a rant. Sometimes I just like to hear myself talk

A quick weekend in Cleveland...

Well, I made it home to Cleveland this past weekend.  A lot of things came together to make this a pretty cool visit: two of my aunts came into town on their way to visit family in West Virginia; my sister Katie and her husband came in from Pennsylvania with their two boys (Reggie and Tommie); my other sisters Sue and Anna were in town for the weekend as well (as were Anna’s husband Jeff and their two children Matthew and Elise).  When all was said and done, we were able to have the type of laid back reunion which proves impossible around the holidays. 

 

Sue and I were able to head off on our own adventures for a bit on Saturday.  First, we headed off to the community studio space where she does her ceramics work (here’s hoping you made a good sale at the art show!).  Despite a few random downpours, we were also able to make a visit to the library, have a fast (but tasty) dinner with Ron and Katie (and the boys), and head to Crocker Park for some window shopping.  Nothing hugely exciting, but it’s the kind of relaxing Saturday afternoon that I love.

 

Sunday gave us all an opportunity to meet up at my parent’s house.  After the family dinner, the adults were given a bit of a respite while the four little folks ran around the yard playing with bubbles.  It’s really quite amazing—despite all the expensive crap that lines the shelves of your local Toys R Us, it only takes a few dollars worth of bubbles and some wands to keep a small army of kids busy for hours.  It was really fun seeing those four run around (and get along), and it gave the rest of us an opportunity to catch up.  I’ll be heading home again for a friend’s wedding later in September, but I’m really glad I made it home for a few days.  Till Next Time—
