and resting comfortably. So I didn't go out to the hospital after work. I took Maricel to library to get her very own library card. It was incredibly exciting. I bypassed the two closest library locations to go to the one in Maumee that's situated in the lovely historical green space. Men fought and died in this parking lot during the War of 1812. More specifically, Dudley's Massacre happened here in the parking lot. If you follow the link, scroll down to the D's.
But we picked up some music and some reading materials. She was impressed with the library, though I liked it better before they spent a bazillion dollars rennovating it. Now it looks all historical on the outside, but just like any old office building inside. Afterwards we sat outside on a park bench for awhile. Maricel said that she had always wanted to come live here (really here to Toledo) because her father always made the US sound like home when he talked about it. He was a second generation American and he would have been quite happy to stay here, but he married a Filipino girl who didn't like the cold and didn't like not being where she considered home.
"This is where I always felt like I should live." She said.
"I hope it doesn't dissapoint." I said.
"You mean there won't be rivers of chocolate, rainbows of candy and streets paved with gold?" She replied.
"There might be." I said. "You never know."
See You in the funny papers...
