Day 2-Saturday, Jan 27th
Our destination this day was the very beautiful home of John Grace and Joan Raducha in Madison, WI, about a six hour trip from Toledo. Our travels took us through Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. It was so great to spend time with John and Joan; John and Stephen have been close colleagues through their work heading up state associations of child and family service agencies and John has faced major health challenges over the past year. Thankfully, his cancer is in remission and he has renewed health and hope.




We were treated to exquisite meals prepared by Joan whose passion is gourmet cooking. We really enjoyed our visit and the very good company. We had light snow overnight which made for a beautiful pictures the next morning.

That's something we hear often around here: "next time I get to Cleveland..." Steve, there's never a next time when people get to Cleveland! Now, Oregon, that's another story! Your place looks wonderful.
