A Morning With Thomas And The Gang

I love Lebanon, Ohio. It is one of my favorite places to walk and window shop and, well, just plain shop till I drop. There are great old restored buildings and homes, antique shops by the gazillion, the stunning & historic Golden Lamb Hotel and Restaurant where so many US Presidents and oh so many authors slept. In the Fall it is especially lovely...it's tree lined streets awash with multi colored leaves. The, pretty in any season, window displays are now ablaze in oranges and filled to the brim with decor of the season. If any of you are ever in the area, please stay with us and we will go to Lebanon. I promise you will love it! But this morning we were in Lebanon for a very different reason. We were there to see one of my nephew Brady's best friends...Thomas the Tank Engine...and take a ride with him.

This is the face of a little guy who was just overwhelmed to see Thomas in person! Come on Mommy! Hurry! We have to say hello! He came all the way from the Island of Sodor to see me! Greetings Sir Topham Hat. It is lovely to meet you! A pretty girl on the train... Warnings always sound better in French...oui oui! All aboard!
