We spent a delightful afternoon with cousins, Dick and his daughter Betty. We swapped family stories and learned more about Dick’s WW II service with the 20th Armored Division. He told tales of Steve’s dad as a young man and of New Year’s Eve parties at Steve’s grandparents house in the 1930’s. We learned a lot from both if them and they claim to have learned a little from us. And to make it even sweeter Betty fed us a most luscious lunch of homemade New Orleans specialties including muffalettas and crawfish pie accompanied by mint infused iced tea and followed with the most delectable petit fours!
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Each stop along the way has been just wonderful to read about. The crawfish tarts looked just delicious! Thanks for sharing.
