We visited our old house in Queen City Park. Suzie, the woman who bought it from Dad, was home and gave us a lovely tour of the house, the back yard (complete with tiny house! I want!), the garden, and the trail in the woods behind the house. It was amazing to be back in the house, and most if not all of her decisions were improvements, though I loved the spiral staircase she removed. Then we walked the neighborhood and said hi to a few folks. There is some serious gentrification in what used to be kind of a blue collar and dirty neighborhood. It's impressive to see.
The boys and I biked off to Ledges, some cliffs that I have always gone to for diving into the lake. We had visited last summer, and Cassius especially was excited to return.
After a while, we biked over to a fancy nearby Whole Foods-type grocery for a snack--a small bag of pretzels, two bottles of apple cider, and two boxes of five maple sugar candies for $18. Gah. Then we biked home and had an excellent quiet time!
