Brian invited us to the print shop where he works nearly all of the back room magic including the printing and machine maintenance. We loved the chance to peek behind the scenes and get a glimpse at how the printing presses work. A favorite of his is the Old...

CCO & Cousins in the Park
It's a Cousins Get Together! This time it's a concert on the green in the Village of Evendale. Gail, Lynne, Brian, Mary, Ashley, Michael, and we two brought our chairs, snacks, and drinks out on this lovely summer's evening. We arrived early so we'd have time to visit...
Aunt Mary, and the Mainliner
One of the delights of any visit to Cincinnati is to spend time with Karen's Aunt Mary. We share an interest in genealogy and love swapping family stories. We also share a passion for Cincinnati cuisine. It was her choice that we lunched today at Frisch's Mainliner on...
Connections to Fame
Every trip to Cincinnati is an opportunity to hobnob with relatives and to swap family stories. Today we were hanging out with Aunt Nancy and Peggy when a story surfaced that bears more research. As the legend goes, Karen's grandfather and his friend...
A Welcoming Community
We participated this morning in the celebration of Mass at St Patrick's in Morristown and afterwards engaged in a most welcoming conversation with Marlene. It wasn't long before she was suggesting we move to the area and join the parish! Then on the way back to the...
Thomas’ Blueberries
It's blueberry season! Picking at Thomas Berry Farm officially began on Friday. We spent a most salubrious hour here this morning picking the juiciest and sweetest berries from these venerable forty year old bushes. Now we can enjoy fresh berries for a couple of...
Glorious Family Fun!

Farewells
We hugged Emily and Michael this morning and waved as they made their way down the mountain. Emily is headed next to a Society of Friends weeklong gathering at WCU then for visits with family and friends elsewhere in NC. Michael will head today to SC to rendezvous...
Under the Bridge Again
Once again we ventured out between rainstorms. We were able to snag some local zucchinis, three varieties of leaf lettuce, a small bunch of mixed varieties of kale, a dozen eggs from heritage breeds including a new egg color (olive), and some whole wheat rolls. From...
Innovation
With Michael and Emily we sampled some of the offerings at Innovation Brewing today. Dodging between the raindrops we stopped at Heinzelmännchen to get some growlers filled before heading to Dillsboro for a walk through The Oaks gallery and for spending some time...

Sojourn in Summit
Our destination when we departed western Massachusetts was northeastern Ohio to watch Peyton dance in a ballet production of Mary Poppins, hang out a bit with family, pick up some belongings from our storage area, and take care of some other personal business. There...
Mary Poppins
Peyton's been dancing for at least ten years and it thrills us every time we have the opportunity to watch here. Tonight she played a nanny, a band member, a panda, and a banker in a ballet production of Mary Poppins. We especially loved her brief solo with a...
