Dateline Dayton –I am deviating again from what should have been the final installment of our Florida trip, to share with you some current events.

Dateline Dayton –Getting back to our recent Florida travels:

Dateline Dayton –This week’s essay should be a continuation of our Florida vacation. However, it is necessary to comment of events negatively affecting children in recent weeks.

Dateline Dayton –Continuing our travels: It now is Friday, and we are on our way to see Aunt Alma, who lives in Sun City. Uncle Dick died just after our visit with them last year. I felt it was important to continue the stop on our way to Venice. Besides, I do their tax returns, so it would be an opportunity to get their information at the same time. We had a nice visit and caught up on all her family information. Yes, I did get the tax information.

Dateline Dayton –I can’t believe it been four weeks since the start of our Florida vacation on March 13. I want to share with you highlights of our adventure.

Dateline Dayton –Since Tuesday was primary election day in Ohio, our poll workers were a little better prepared than the last time. However, I still wonder if my vote really gets counted amidst the confusion in my precinct. The poll worker had to place a clip in the computer, and she had no clue where it went. After getting help to complete that task, I was given my card to vote.

Dateline Dayton –I admit I am easily confused. Sometimes I form an opinion, without getting all the facts. Other times I hear only what I want to hear, and possibly not reading enough to know all the facts.

Dateline Dayton –Last Saturday was our regular bimonthly high school class breakfast. Since the weather wasn’t great, a few regulars did not show and one couple was in Florida. The topics of discussion varied from why young people don’t attend church to concerts, as well as the usual do- you-remember this person or that event.

Dateline Dayton – Knowing many of you will not agree with me, I will give my two or more cents to happenings of the past week.

Dateline Dayton – What a weekend it was. Friday evening we went out for dinner, which for some reason took forever, and Pauline didn’t even get what she ordered after a very long wait. At least the manager took care of her meal.
