He will be three in October, and he is very curious, bright ⠀, and, of course, energetic. On Saturday, we were on our way back to Ohio early for a planned lunch with our friends John and Linda Piper. John and Linda just finished almost two years of cruising. Over the years, we all exchanged ideas as we planned the live-aboard cruising life. They just bought a condominium back in Ohio, where they started. It is hard to believe they are moving back on land, and we haven’t even left yet. They made two trips south, spending much of the first winter in Charleston, SC, and the second in Florida, most of it in Fort Myers. Later in the day, we stopped to visit Kim, Jason, Michael, and Evelyn in Avon Lake. We couldn’t stay long because we were supposed to be dog-sitting for Scott and Pamela, and we were running late. We will be back in Ohio in two weeks, so we didn’t feel too bad. Sunday morning, we visited briefly with Scott and Pamela, but they were exhausted after returning late from a wedding reception the night before. A little before lunch, we were off to the airport, and arrived back on Ariel at about 8 pm after checking on the house on the way. While we enjoyed the week, we were also glad to be home again, although only for three nights this time before we are off again.

Visting family and friends
The pace is pretty quick right now. We are trying to maximize our time with family this summer so we were off again. We had a flight to Cleveland on Saturday and spent Saturday night with Scott and Pamela. Scott surprised me with four new baseball hats with the IP star embroidery. We have adopted this as Ariel's logo. It is uncanny how he can read my mind, especially over such a long distance. I was planning to ask him to have some more made, but he beat me to the punch. Sunday, we drove to Grand Rapids to visit Dan, Lesli, and Thomas. Linda spent the week, and on Monday morning, I drove to Mishawaka, Indiana, for project work. Mishawaka is just outside of South Bend and only a two-hour drive south from Grand Rapids. At first, Thomas was afraid of us, as he hadn't seen us since Christmas, but he warmed up very quickly. We had expected this reaction since it was the same at Christmas. I returned to Grand Rapids on Thursday afternoon and worked remotely from there on Friday. Both Dan and Lesli work, so Linda and I got to babysit. It was a delight to spend time with Thomas.
