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 covenant with one another in the presence of Fr Joseph Allison, our families, and a few of our friends. Yesterday we went to Mass at Nativity. This afternoon we got a treat at Busken Bakery, the source of our wedding cake (look in the background on the right side of the photo). And this evening we had a most delicious home style meal at The Century Inn, established 1806, complete with some incredible craft beers and finished with a fine blackberry cobbler. There’s even enough meatloaf leftovers for a couple of sandwiches tomorrow. And as a nod to Douglas Adams, we’re watching “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” tonight!
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.
Blessings as you continue to nurture your covenant with each other! Steak and eggs, anyone?
Happy Belated Anniversary!
