Improper apo...I cracked up at your grammar lesson! Improper apostrophe use makes me crazy, but I'm much less crazed about other grammar errors. I get especially perturbed when I see it on business signs. They pay big bucks to advertise their business and then make themselves look foolish by not having someone knowledgeable check it over. BTW I just can't resist now...you used the wrong spelling for "peek" when you looked in the window. The worst thing about spell check is it doesn't catch those kinds of things. Sometimes I don't catch a mistake I've made until the third time I've read back through my post. I seem to have a bad habit of typing "the" two times in a row and then have a hard time seeing the mistake. Like anyone cares, right? In the super old days it was spell it whatever way you liked, everyone knew what you meant and seems to be heading back that way in modern times.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-77098555828909501902014-06-03T22:27:28.934-04:002014-06-03T22:27:28.934-04:00What a full, fun day!

I'm so happy that you were able to at least get one day of the time you had originally planned there -- this will just have to go onto your "return" list so that you have something to look forward to next time. Eric and I would love that train/bike ride combo. Especially with the beer.

I was shocked to hear I could have a locally brewed craft beer (Thirsty Dog Brewing is in Akron) for only $3 AND they had some great options in the cooler, including the Rail Dog Smoked Black Lager which is their version of a German Schwarzbier - a style I like. The towpath ride was awesome when it left the roadside as was the weather, Another of my lucky days!

I will say that I got a start as I was reading that one could buy "snakes" at the Trail Mix instead of "snacks." I think that I need to change my contacts . . . .. What is with the dog cart?

You didn't mention it, but I am guessing this will be a coveted stamp in your National Park passport book. Your power of observation, like the discovery of this park, is evident again in seeing the heron (crane?) by the mill. Thanks for reminding me to open my eyes more to the treasures around me. <br /><br />I won't forget that line:"nostalgia forever is his theme." Sounds like something out of a classic novel. <br /><br />The bike and train ride combo sounds delightful.
