And More Friends!

On Monday, we drove from National Road Campground near Zanesville to the Linnabary's farm near Mt Gilead, OH.

On Tuesday, Keith and Ruth Ann started us off seeing the multi-purpose building that they built (and have reconfigured several times). They are currently re-configuring a space for them to use as an apartment when they are here in Ohio.

Then we drove down into Columbus, and they took us to one of their favorite places:

The Book Loft in German Village

 

What a unique spot!

Carl and I got a map of the rooms in the book store and figured our way to room #24, "Science, Animals, Nature, Computers, Math".

Carl was checking out the Cat bookx...

....looking through the table of contents...

...looking for help in understanding Miss Kitty!

 I'm not sure how much progress he thought he made...

He took a picture of me also checking out cat books...

... mask in place! (The rule in Columbus now.)

Each room had different music playing, appropriate to the room. In the "animal" room, "One Hour of Nature Music"...

...in the "Art" room, "Pavarotti".

With the 32 rooms -- they were all pretty small, and there were some narrow hallways between them.

But all the hallways and nooks and crannies were stuffed with books and books and books!

The store sold CDs of the music playing in the different rooms...

Who *are* those masked people??? (Carl with Keith and Ruth Ann)

Since we were in the German Village part of Columbus, there were German and American flags outside the book store along the alleyway which was the entrance.

We decided to walk to a restaurant a few blocks away. All the streets and houses in this area are bricked and neat looking.

These flowers were so pretty.

The Olde Mohawk Restaurant is where we ate. It was very good!

 We had such a nice day with Keith and Ruth Ann!
