Sorry for not posting for the last couple weeks. It has been a busy couple weeks.
We spent most of the last two weeks doing things with our family in the Canton area. We drove down to Carrollton with Veronica to visit her sister Helen and niece Linda and had a great visit. Another day we drove down to Bergholz to visit our Aunt Joyce in the old family house. David’s father’s family is from the Bergholz area and the house in Bergholz has been in the family since the 1940s. There is an old apple tree in the back yard where we always gathered for family visits. The tree predates when the house was purchased by David's grandparents. We think it is at least 80 years old and still hanging in there, if a little worse for wear. Just outside Bergholz are a couple of plaques that commemorate when the town was invaded by the Confederate raiders during the US Civil War.

We also helped our Cousins sort through their Mom and Dad’s storage unit. We mostly provided muscle and moral support. It was a very difficult day for all, but they got it cleaned out. We went for a hike at Brandywine Falls in Cuyahoga Valley NP with our cousin Amy. Unfortunately, Leslie slipped on a rock and tore up her bad knee. She can walk, but it hurts and keeps slipping out of alignment. We hope it will get better with rest. David drove to Washington DC the last week to support an important meeting. It was faster to drive than fly. Our final weekend we had a great dinner with our cousins (Amy, Beth and John), another with David’s Step Brother, Step Sister, Veronica and Cheryl. Our final night we went with Veronica to our favorite Jewish Deli, Corky and Lenny’s!
