Firsts

I always look at the ending instead of the beginning ~ I have to remember to focus on the beginning, because they are so much more exciting.
Patrick & I got up EEEEEEAAAARLY yesterday morning and drove all the way down 71 to the end of the state...(well, almost...exit 3 to be accurate).  We had our FIRST college visit @ the University of Cincinnati. I was very impressed with their campus ~ compact, pedestrian, easy to get around.  Patrick also liked it, but as he has nothing to compare it to it's hard to make any firm decisions.  A solid 'maybe'.  Time to get more visits organized.
It was so darn HOT yesterday.  When we left campus the car said it was 103°.  That's HOT.  As we were battling traffic in Columbus it said 107°.  I've never seen that car register that kind of heat.  (another FIRST)
On our way home we saw yet another FIRST (for me anyway).  A CAR WAS ON FIRE.  Like really burning up...flames everywhere...no emergency response there yet, so it had just happened.  There was a guy stopped and the driver was out of the car ~ so I don't think anyone was hurt.  But it was SCARY...we had to drive pretty darn close to it to get around...I'm sure it was ready to explode ~ That happens you know.  I've seen it on TV.

And today I ate my FIRST tomato from my garden.  It was a cherry tomato ~ but it was yellow and not red.  I don't ever recall a tomato going from green to yellow and then to red.  I wonder if I got a mislabled tomato plant?!  It was very yummy tho'!
