My schedule when I'm in Ohio is getting filled with fun and good things.
Next Saturday night - Picnic with the Pops. I have been wanting to do this for years, and my mom and Rob have talked about it for ages too. We've just never done it. So now we have tickets and we're going. And it's Patriotic Pops too...lots of John Philip Sousa marches and fireworks.
Next Sunday - family reunion. Always a good time when I hang out with my cousins and play with their kids. Oh...and of course eat lots of bad-for-me food.
Thursday, July 5 - Paula drives down from Parma to come and visit me. :) I'm not sure yet what we'll do when she gets there. If she doesn't mind too much, I may have her drive me to German Village, and we can hang out there and browse the shops and eat at Max & Erma's or something. (Yes, I totally get the irony of going home to visit German Village. Shut up. :P)
ETA: Apparently, she is really itching to visit the Columbus Zoo. So it looks like that's what we'll be doing.
Friday, July 6 - This is only tentative right now...but I might be getting together with a couple of my English Culture readers from BellaOnline. We discussed getting together to see The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [abridged] at Schiller Park (obviously, we discussed this before I resigned as English Culture editor...and they have yet to replace me, I might add). Trying to organize that right now. ( ETA: So far, one person has confirmed, so it looks like I'm going!)
Saturday, July 7 - Going to Kelleys Island with Mom and Rob. They just told me this on the phone today and I'm really excited. I haven't been there in ages. As Lake Erie islands go, I like Put-in-Bay better, but I'll take any opportunity to go up to the lake. I love it up there. I suppose we'll be touring wineries and doing tastings. And apparently, they are having a historic home tour that day too.
This is so much better than my usual trips home, when I do absolutely nothing. And that's okay too...sometimes. But I like my vacations to be pretty active. I'm not really a do nothing kind of person.
