A leftover Spring 2024 Vacation photo from Delray Beach, FL

Sunset drive home in Ohio

The sunsets across rural Ohio never really get old. I’ve driven home to Cincinnati this time of evening more times than I care to remember while coming home from NE Ohio … but those days are now behind me. This time it was returning from a spring vacation in April and Proposal on Delray Beach,FLI realized that there was a photo and personal “that’s my husband/dad” kind of joke that might be worth archiving

It seems that when Brenda and I were pretty much alone on our beach walk, a young man and his girl ahead of us were planning something special. As we walked closer, we saw the guy bend on one knee and propose. The girl  “accepted” with a leap and a hug (thankfully).

I could not help myself but to “sneak” a photo and say “CONGRATULATIONS” as we walked by — yes, received a polite “thank you” from the couple — but a sneer from my wife. 

On another subject, part of our time was spent chatting back and forth with Brenda’s sisters and their husbands about planning a trip to Utah together. It has become almost humorous as to the number of times they have had me “noodle” (Gary’s term) the airfares and times so we could coordinate our flights, etc. 

We still haven’t come to a final conclusion as to what will work, DomesticFlightsbut Gary and Ann finally booked their trip from Atlanta and it is now our turn to fit travel to their schedule. Just FYI, I’ve done everything but buy the tickets for the rest of us, but am trying to be patient enough to have them all agree (I should probably just book Brenda and my flight and be done with it … but we do still have time).
