Greetings and salutations!
This weekend was quiet. We're finding that the most popular things to do in Findlay are go to the movies or the mall, which is making us feel a little like we're back in high school. This Wednesday Brian has no morning classes due to some school wide in-service type thing, and he normally doesn't have any afternoon classes, so we may do some exploring of the area. I'm trying to talk him into going hiking at one of the area state parks.
Last Saturday, we checked out the very close by antique mega-store. It was ginormus!! We got lost in it, and didn't get through the whole thing because Brian got antsy. (Which I really thought would happen to me before him!) But we did find all sorts of red dishes for tick & janel. We also found Grandma Evie & Grandpa Vernie's dish set. (Grandma - if you need any extra plates, or anything, just let me know. Also, some of your dishes were quite pricy!)
And we went to the mall to play with the puppies at the pet store. This was a mistake. Now we just want a puppy. We played with a shitzu and a maltese. I preferred the peppy little girl shitzu and brian preferred the timid little boy maltese. (The maltese peed on me a little.) No puppies for us now, but that may be revisited once I get a job.
TRIVIA!!!
And now, it's time for the long awaited trivia game. The rules are simple. We give a question and the first person to respond with a suitable answer gets a prize mailed to them.
We've been driving along and noticed Ohio licenses claim to be the "Birthplace of Aviation." Why does Ohio get this claim, instead of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina?
We'll watch for your answers in the comment section! Be sure to sign it with your name, if you post as anonymous.

the wright brothers were born in Dayton, OH, made their plans, did most of the contruction, and did most of their testing in Ohio. it just happens that their first success happened in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. but they were BORN in Ohio and therefore, it is truly the birthplace of aviation. fyi, john glenn and neil armstrong are also from ohio!
(keep in mind i have no job and not much of a life at the moment)
dude!!! heidi totally used wikipedia i bet. i prolly would've done the same...hehe.
Heidi wins. Take it from someone who lived there for 30-some years.
A further trivia question. Much of the design and testing of the Wright Flyer was performed in their bycicle shop.
Where is that bycicle shop located?
