There are those special places that we want to go back and visit even though we’ve been there before. They are not static …. always adding something new for our enjoyment. A museum, a zoo and a friends’ home come to mind.
And of course your blog. ;)

Michigan has a choice at one point to take Toledo or the peninsula and we chose north. I do think it was a good call, but Toledo is fun to visit.

FREE is a splendid word. A history center in a neighboring community dropped admission and I love that because that will get more people inside, learning and exploring history.

The last time I went there I came home with a Tiffany style lamp similar to that one. My son went to Toledo University and now lives close to Toledo so we are there frequently visiting the grandkids.

Ohhh! That was their announcement. I thought it was an example of an artwork, and I didn’t understand how the lamp could be on top of the painting like that. I get it now. Thank you!
