Out and About in Ohio

September 28, 2025 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

On a few days while we were in Ohio, we drove around visiting various people. On one of those days we stopped at the cemetery where Gayle’s mother is buried and visited the spot. After taking a serious picture, the children got goofy!

We stopped to have a look at this old house and barn, built by one of Gayle’s great-great-something great-grandparents. Can you see the date at the lower right corner of the house? The date on the barn is 1901.

I took this next picture because of the juxtaposition of the old wooden shingles on the shed, with the modern building just beyond.

This is another family house; it is the one Gayle’s mother grew up in. It was brick then, but has been updated more recently. One of his cousins lives in it with his family.

We also visited our nephew’s farm. He raises meat chickens in these structures, and moves them every day.

He also moves his cattle and sheep daily.

Miss Joy was delighted to find a cat she could love on. She badly missed her cats.

Of course, we went swimming again. Miss Joy is quite the fish; she can swim well with a life jacket on.

We visited another nephew, and toured the house he has restored for his young family.
