The Curtises Come for a Visit




As soon as we arrived home from Pennsylvania, Ideal and Les arrived from Nashville for a visit! How fun to watch Les play rock band! Ideal, Bethany, Hannah, and I had a shopping evening in Jackson. And Willis and Bethany took Les and Ideal over to Missouri for a Mississippi River crossing.

Homecoming weekend at Grove City College 2008











On the way to Grove City College for Homecoming weekend, Hannah, Willis, and I visited William Howard Taft's home in Cincinnati, Ohio. In Grove City we watched Ben and Bethany march in the Homecoming parade--Ben holding his fraternity's sign, Bethany playing the piccolo with her sorority. We watched Ben play rugby, celebrated his 20th birthday, and enjoyed time with many friends. And then Bethany came home with us for an extended fall break week!
