By The Fireside: Some Enchanted Evening

By The Fireside

Who hasn’t sat around a campfire and watched how firelight changes the faces that surround the glowing embers? There is something so mysterious and lovely about the dancing flames and the charcoaled smoke as it rises into the evening sky. The flames - the light - transform ordinary logs of wood into a picturesque bonfire. As indigo ash whispers through the night air, we breathe in a new aroma, resigning ourselves to the blaze.

When we think about community, we often reflect upon the wonderful times we've shared by a fireside...a warm hearth in a friend's home, Christmas morning with precious family, or sweet sharing and song around a bonfire. Perhaps this vision most reminds us of our great cloud of witnesses; the inspiration behind this page. As we share our stories & photographs here, our hope is that we may renew, refresh, and rekindle our friendships by this fireside...

Some Enchanted Evening

This past week, sweet Papa and Nana treated the whole family to a lovely evening at the Aronoff to see one of their favorite musicals, SOUTH PACIFIC! It truly was an enchanted evening...full of soaring music, beautiful sets, family togetherness...and Gold Star Chili! And at 10:30 as we were leaving the Aronoff, we exited to the sound of honking horns, hoots and hollers: The REDS had made it to the Playoffs! Cincinnati, you really stold our hearts that night :)
