Dick's Toys

 I've made it to my next stop. Back in the hometown with one of the people I've become re-acquianted with as an adult, and Dick and his wife Darla and I get along really well. Dick has quite a collection of toys.

Oh, wait. Actually, Dick really likes full-size toys. This is his new favorite- a '72 Cheyenne Super. He's pretty fond of Darla too.

The view from his back yard is a favorite of mine. His garden, with the hills on the other side of Cayuga Lake behind (and a corn field).

And just to round out the end of the visit with Elaine, we played Scrabble before I left this morning. I thought I might beat her, but she managed to pull ahead and win by 14 points.

I'm working on the final round of book editing, and also had some time to relax this afternoon. Very good day.
