At breakfast, we enjoyed our normal road fare of semel, cheddar, strawberry jam, and bacon (A Kelbabe treat). After breakfast, we decided to drive to Dearborn, MI to see the Henry Ford Museum. We spent a good four hours wandering through the exhibits, which ranged from humongous railway engines to Le Mans style race cars plus vehicles of all types and ages. I was a bit surprised that the museum also included a great deal of Americana as represented by time line dioramas sprinkled throughout the property. It was a delightful day, and as usual presented me with much to think about as various memories jogged themselves loose from my life experience. I've claimed for sometime that I'm the luckiest guy on the planet. I've certainly been fortunate to grow up in this country, and having so many memories flash back through my mind today merely added to that conviction. We met Karen after she finished with her school day at "Byblos", a Lebanese restaurant in Toledo. It was very good, and a treat we wouldn't find in Spokane. So far this trip has not only provided us an opportunity to see the relatives we love, it has also provided us an opportunity to enjoy some of the great variety America offers, so naturally we think life is good, especially today.
JFK's limousine, the one he was riding in when he was shot.
Lovely downtown Toledo, OH
