Still in Mount Vernon, Ohio

We're still with our son, Chris, and daughter-in-law, Tracy who live in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Actually, their 'main' home is in Mount Vernon, but they own a second home (shown to the left) in Utica, Ohio.

They have always wanted to own and run a retreat center and, when this house and 11 acres became available, they bought it. It has been beautifully rehabbed and is a great place for a church leadership group or youth group to come for retreats.

In the picture to the left, Tracy is holding Esme, their Chihuahua who thinks she's the queen of the house.

Today is Saturday, July 19 and if today is your Birthday you share your day with: Anthony Edwards (actor - "ER" and Goose in "Top Gun"), Brian May (lead guitarist for "Queen"), Vicki Carr (singer), George McGovern ( Senator from South Dakota), Lizzie Borden (gave her mother 4o whacks with an axe), and Edgar Degas (French impressionist artist).
