Hooray! We were able to resume our treasured tradition of hosting Deck Day every Memorial Day. Good citizenship and public health concerns caused us to cancel in 2020 and 2021, but now we’re back on track for the twenty-ninth version of this gathering of friends and family both local and from across the country. The main event is the Monday afternoon/evening cookout but the first guests arrived on Thursday and helped us with preparations interspersed with lots of fun activities as well as good food and drink and some lingered until today as the clean up partying progressed. These last six days have been so much fun with our guests pitching in to help with all the cooking, cleaning, puzzle assembling, music making, libation mixing, dancing, organizing, game playing, eating, drinking, and conversing. As we turn the page and move on to our summer travels, we’re savoring the memories made during this, our second last Deck Day. Thanks to all of you who participate and enrich our lives so thoroughly.
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.
It was so much fun!!
Thank you for your gracious hospitality gathering family and friends for an absolutely delightful gathering!
