The second phase of our Ohio visit has come to an end with our move to Jefferson, OH today. We really enjoyed the past two weeks visiting friends and family in the Troy area. We shared many nice chats and good dinners with them. We spent the most time with our daughter Rachel, our son-in-law Benji, Madeliene (8), Simon (6), and Judah (4). We parked in their backyard and the kids couldn't wait for the front door to open to signal that we were ready for them to visit.
Long-time friends Gene and Barbara Lucas
My Uncle Paul and Aunt Rhonola. Uncle is 96 and still crankin'. My hero!
Always time for a visit to the local HD dealer. This one is in Piqua.

We thank all of our relatives and friends for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit with us. We apologize to friends Wayne and Denise Derrickson, Bob and Dottie Ries, Tom Cotterman, and Bob Kedler for forgetting the camera on their visits.
We arrived at Kenisee Lake Thousand Trails Campground about 2 PM today. We are on a 50 amp full hook-up site that is very large. This campground appears to be very well kept. We will get some pics tomorrow.
Next you will be introduced to more friends. Bet you can't wait!
Louise and Duane

Uncle Paul doesn't look anything close to 96! You sure it isn't 69?
WOW...that is a lot of people you visited with in a short two week stay. Love the photos of the kids. They are getting so big and cute!
Can't wait to see you two tomorrow. Safe travels to Akron.
