Today we did lots of things with Ron and Anna. We started at Young’s Jersey Dairy Farm for lunch that included a terrific milkshake made with their own farm produced ice cream and then a trip through the petting area. This was fun but the goats sure make your hands messy. The owners understand and provide lots of hand sanitizer after the feeding area.

For some reason the theme song from “Green Acres” was going through my head.

After seeing some fighter jets flying overhead, Ron took us to the Air Force Base to see them up close.

It was great watching them take off and land. I love that wonderful sound of power.

After the Air Base we went to the River Walk in downtown Dayton.

They have a spectacular water show every hour.

While we were walking along the river, Ron pointed out the Mendelson’s Liquidation Outlet. Of course we had to go and see if they had any treasures for us. We didn’t find anything but Ron and Anna did. Ron found some small magnets, a magnifying glass and some tote bags. Anna found a great deal on an exercise bike.

This is a very large five story building. Only the 1st and 3rd floors are open to the public. I can’t believe all the things they have. Tools, clothing, kitchen items, storage cabinets, exercise equipment, computer parts of all kinds, Christmas decorations and much more. We looked around for about an hour and I saw lots of things; most of which I didn’t have the slightest idea what it was. It would take days to see everything in this place.

We had another great day. Thanks Ron and Anna for a fantastic two days.
