This morning I finished an article for our diocesan newspaper about my return to Kentucky, and related the experience of reconnecting with family and friends. And then this afternoon I had the opportunity to actually do that.
I have lots of first cousins on the Dittmeier side of the family and today nine of us got together for lunch. These are some of the people who bought the e-bike for me.
Then I made a brief visit to Ruth, now 104 years old, and her daughter Peg. I have known, liked, and respected their family for more than 50 years.
