Engaged! Erica and Ben

You can tell you're getting old when your cousin, whom you tried to teach to play piano when he was younger, is now engaged. In my defense, I had no idea what I was doing with teaching and Ben was more than capable of picking up the sweet sounds of piano playing to woo the ladies. Case and point: he's now engaged to the sweetest girl, Erica. Ohio recently had its last nice, fall weekend so Erica, Ben, and I spent a leisurely time strolling the Pet Trail at Highbanks Metro Park before the sun set for the day. We were blessed with brightly colored leaves, a dark sky threatening rain but never delivering, and finally, a setting sun. I was blessed with the company of two fine individuals.
