Traditions - Do you have family traditions? My parents and I love gardens, glass and food, we travel well together. We have a dozen or so little weekend trips we do each year. One trip we've done yearly for more than 20 years is the Columbus Ohio - German Village Haus and Garden Tour www.germanvillage.org You can do a pre tour on Saturday which is expensive or a day tour on Sunday which is $20 per person. I recommend the Saturday night tour. Get to know the German Village neighborhood. Treat yourself to a weekend in Columbus.

Heart of Glass - Blenko Glass
Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass. We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

My family went out to eat after church on Sunday then to visit my gparents weekly.
On Wed we went bowling.
Midwestern USA.
Spring thru fall we took long car rides thru the small communities late Saturday afternoon, then stopped at small restaurants for dinner. In summer we would go to the library (up above the fire station) in the small town we went to school in. You could only check out 2 books each, there we 3 of us. My sister and I read all the Hardy Boys, and our brother read all the Nancy Drew. Then the following week we would get a new supply. Small town in Michigan.
