I wasn't going to put anything in this month. Felt like I said enough in my blog during the
last two months. But today was an
interesting day, leaving me with more things to contemplate.
Today found Jerry and me down on the river bank just out for
a short stroll, enjoying the wonderful weather.
We like to walk past the murals painted on the flood wall. Most of the time we approach them from the
wrong direction causing us to walk backwards through time instead of advancing. We passed a man and his camera and politely
comment on the weather. He was marveling
at the murals. As we talked on we found
out that he was from LA and flew into Cincinnati to watch the Dodgers play the
Reds this weekend. He flew in early to
be able to explore the surrounding area.
He was so enjoying himself. He
asked what he should see while he was in the area. We gave him the run down on the riverbank
parks, historical walks, talked Lewis and Clark, recommended some places to
eat, pointed out some buildings to notice, steered him in the direction of
Mother of God since he was noticing it on the mural, talked bridge
construction, etc. He was just happy to
be here. What a treat for us also. Kind of made us realize that we do live in an
okay area with lots to offer. As we were
parting he asked “So what is the name of this town on the other side of this
wall anyway? “ We were proud to tell him
Covington.
The reason we were in the area is that we were able to apply
for the Home Stead Exemption at the Court House. Another perk of getting old. Seems that when you turn 65 and own your own
home you can apply for a break on your property taxes. And so we did. Today I also became a member of the card
carrying Medicare group. It’s getting more and more official – people
think I’m getting old. I’m out to prove
them wrong!
