We were able to spend the 19th of April, Sunday, with Eric, to celebrate his birthday two days in advance. We had not seen him since Christmas, and he now is renting (and caretaking) the house of a former professor at OSU. We not only wanted to visit with Eric, but see the home he is now in charge of. The Webbers have moved to Colorado, to spend two years, and decide if they want to make it a permanent retirement location, before selling their home.
Eric was lucky to meet them, and they asked him to be their tenant and caretaker, after getting to know him. Moose and Eric are both enjoying the space, both inside and outside--a yard with flowers, shrubs, trees, and woods not far beyond.
We also met Eric's friend, Cathy, and her dog, Nicky, who reminds us of a dingo--same color and size--and a very calm dog. (the dogs get along) We enjoyed our visit getting to know Cathy and catching up with Eric's news and projects, and having a dinner at a good Italian restaurant in Oswego. At home afterwards, we had a birthday cake (home made) to complete the celebration. Time flew by, and we were on our way home--a short visit, but both Eric and Cathy had to teach on Monday, he at OSU, and she at a middle school near Syracuse.
