Andrea's visit - June 2013

My daughter, Andrea came home for a visit. But, the reason for the visit was for a funeral. My best friend's daughter was killed in a car accident, while leaving her husband & her 3 year old son. For you see, this best friend is like a sister to me and the girl, who passed away, was like a sister to my daughter. So this was devastating to both sides of the family. They have spent most of the time at the hospital with the little boy. He had broken right fingers and arm and broken left leg. As well as, damage around his eye sockets that will need repairing in the future. We pray for a speedy and complete recovery for him and both sides of the family.
Although the circumstances for my daughters visit was unfortunate, we had a good visit  and made the most of it. These pictures were of her first day. She arrived at the airport about 6:30AM, went to Cracker Barrel, and Newport on the Levee in Newport, KY. It has shops, restaurants, AMC movies, etc. and is across the river from Cincinnati, OH.


 Tom + Chee is a local restaurant that has different types of, you guessed it, grilled cheese sandwiches. The first sandwich is a Grilled BLT Cheese and the 2nd is a Grilled Strawberry Lemonade Donut. YUMMY! Pure Deliciousness! We thought we died and went to heaven with the donut.
 










 Andrea needed to rest.

This is The Purple People Bridge. Named so because only people can use and it's purple, of course. It doesn't meet regulations for todays bridges and cars.
