Akron, Ohio Trip - Day Two

Wednesday, July 10
Second day in Ohio.  This was the weather in the morning.


We were given coupons for breakfast in the hotel restaurant which had views of the river and falls.






After breakfast, we had tickets to attend the Pro-Am at the Firestone Country Club in Akron.












We enjoyed walking through the course and watching the golfing.  As you can see, the clouds rolled in.  We had several short rain showers.  The wind was very forceful and strong.  And then this happened.

We heard this incredibly loud cracking sound.  Suddenly, a huge branch off this tree right by the path we were walking crashed down.  Eric rushed forward to warn this older couple who were walking right by this tree.

I was just hit by some leaves but the elderly man was under the branch.  He had fallen on his back.  Many people ran to help.  The older man had broken his leg and had a heart attack.  Eric got hit on the head but was fine.  What an experience!


This was how large the part of the tree that came down.


This shows where the branch came off this tree.


Getting checked out.



So. Windy.


We got lunch at the country club restaurant paid for by Equity Trust.  I had chips and guacamole and a salad.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
