Stopping at Arlington OH

We are traveling with our friends, Al and Carol, for the weekend, stopped in at Arlington, OH to see a fellow FAA Air Traffic Automation guy, Bob and his wife Mary Beth.  We had a good time talking "shop" and how we could run the FAA better.....  Well, I still talk about it, Al has been retired longer and has forgotten everything he knew.  

We pulled up to Bob's house, on a two lane rural highway, and had to disconnect in traffic, well not much traffic, but enough for me to get out and direct, while Al figured out how to get us parked.  A State Trouper showed up to help us out, and I told him we had just unhooked and getting ready to pull into the driveway.  He said he'd take care of traffic for me.  Then he walked around the side of mine and said, "Oh crap there's two of you!"  He was a nice guy and we got out of the road quick.

Bob fixed us a great dinner, since we'd been on the road for a whole hour from Toledo and were just wasting away.  But I learned a new dessert recipe:

Twinkie Pie

Take Twinkies and split length wise to line the bottom of oblong cake pan

Top that with vanilla pudding (I'd use sugar free, but that might not be fitting for the title of this dessert)

Then sliced bananas, and sliced strawberries

A layer of Cool-whip and you're in heaven!

That was a great dinner and dessert on a hot day in Ohio, thanks Bob for your hospitality.
