  1. Hello Eva, you had good travels (that little church in the corn field outside Angola was so sweet). It must have been so nice to see your alma mater again . . what a lovely campus! Did you like traveling with the EZ Pass? Have a wonderful visit with Peter's parents. They must be very happy to see you xoxo

    1. Yes, we had a good time and I love that little church! The first time I spotted it was when Peter took me home to Oberlin, Ohio, to meet his family. That was in 1995, I believe. There are so many new buildings at Notre Dame, but we still found our way around. The E-Z Pass is very convenient, I have to admit. I think it is sad that it means there are not jobs at the tollbooths anymore, but for the driver it is mega-convenient. We had not seen Peter's parents for almost three years. This trip was really important.
