Duffy's Spring-ish Voyage: Part 30

Some fun random things from Ohio.

Duffy at Tim Horton's! DONUT

These old factory-looking buildings are common in Ohio.

Then we went back to my aunt's beautiful house.

Which has a lot of things made out of metal!
 

"Look at the foliage!" said Shellie May.

 She enjoyed swinging from the light fixture.

"You are a modern-day Tarzan," I said.

"I do not know what that means," she replied.

Shellie May brings love too!

She has a bit of musical talent, actually..the bear in the background doesn't seem to mind her playing, anyway!

Duffy's Spring-ish Voyage: Part 29

STILL on board the then-101-year-old Great Lakes Freighter the James M. Schoonmaker! Actually, by this point Duffy and I were ready to go, but my mom had dropped us off. So...more photos!

Magnets are handy.

The detailing was really neat.

"Wheeeeee!"

Duffy's Spring-ish Voyage: Part 28

STILL on board the then-101-year-old Great Lakes Freighter the James M. Schoonmaker!

You could tell it was definitely a work in progress....this roof was rusted through!

 

Tiny Duffy is looking tiny!

"What a pretty city!" said Tiny Duffy. "Can we visit it someday?"

"Maybe."

"Oh! What's in here?" asked Tiny Duffy.

Just boxes. :)

"Helloooo world!"

Look at these old outlets!

Hm. Good advice!

Duffy's Spring-ish Voyage - Part 27

Tiny Duffy and I are still on the then-101-year-old Great Lakes Freighter the James M. Schoonmaker!

From the guide: "You are now viewing the ship's navigational space known as the Pilothouse. This space was manned by a navigational officer and wheelsman, as well as the Captain at any given time. Upon her launching this vessel was the platform for many industry "firsts" which included her being the first Great Lakes vessel to have: wireless telegraph, dual steering gear systems, a general alarm system, and an engine direction indicator.

"Whee, I'm a captain!" said Tiny Duffy.

Outside, Tiny Duffy's magnets again came in very handy in the wind.

So Titanic-y.

The scenery was pretty, too.

"SAVE ME!"

"See you next time!"
