We spent some time this morning enjoying the view from under our awning while savoring our first cuppa. This is a pretty county park campground near Cannon Falls, MN. While we were cooking breakfast we were absolutely delighted to get a phone call from Fr Jim. We've...
If 42 is the answer, then what is the question? In this case, it's not what Douglas Adams fans might expect. It's "How many years have Steve & Karen been married?" Â Forty-two years ago tonight we stood on the altar at Nativity Church here in Cincinnati and made a...
Descendants of Henry & Lizzie gathered today in Evendale for a family reunion. Some family members came in from as far away as Charlotte and Boston! We had fun talking about family history, sharing good food, and making plans for more fun together. Think we'll do...

Palermo's in West Chester was the place this evening. Six grandchildren of Harry & Mae and four spouses gathered on the patio and conversation as well as Italian cuisine a libations. Â For some it had been at least sixteen years since they'd seen one another....
Bill & Dove flew into Cincinnati today. We met them at the Bob Evans in Sharonville as they were finishing their late lunch then carpooled to Neil & Vi's place. Though it'd been quite a few years since they'd seen one another, everyone enjoyed the conversation...

While we were partying at Tween Creeks, our Redford our trusty red Ford F-150 was in the shop in Waynesville, NC. Even as we were finishing up with the after party clean-up at the vacation rental technicians were finishing up the trifecta of repairs that the truck...
In the beginning in 1992 Deck Day was a low-key, let's just spend the whole day out on the pool deck with a friend that grew year by year into an amazing annual gathering of family and friends from all over the country. Last year we announced our plans to host just...
