As we drove to and from Cincinnati We were treated to the sight of massive banks of redbuds and dogwoods. Our one redbud is a little thing that we planted in the woods on the lower acres. It's not making much of a show this spring. But we are truly enjoying our...
We spent a wonderful afternoon with Tom & Kathy and their offspring. It was our first visit with MB & Chris since they wed, and a good chance to catch up with Neil and with Paul. Following a delectable brunch we drove to Sugarcreek Metro Park to hike....

We had a delightful afternoon visit with Karen's aunt and two of her daughters. Plans for an outing were abandoned due to the frequent thunderstorms but it was most salubrious just sitting in the living room swapping stories. It's great just seeing Aunt Nancy's...
Of course it didn't take any arm twisting at all to get the two of us to say "Yes!" to the offer of microbrewed beer! That and a yummy home cooked meal and the delightful company of Sue & Dan made for a most salubrious evening!

It was fifty years ago, on our first visit to Texas that we first heard about the Hill Country but our travels through Texas tended to take us a more northern route to always to include a visit with family. These last couple of days we’ve enjoyed immersing ourselves...
Galveston, Oh Galveston!. Yes, we've got that song stuck in our heads as we visit this historic Texas town for the first time. A visit to the Texas Gulf Coast has been on our list for a very long time. We were fortunate to snag a two night reservation at Galveston...
