Traveling in Ohio has been lovely. Sure, the land is flat and the fog was thick, but the back roads wind through rich farmland with tidy houses sheltered by tall trees, lush lawns and sturdy barns. The fields are being plowed and new growth evidence is everywhere. Like comfort food for the eyes. Doug and I camped at Indian Lake State Park and rested along the Maumee River. Very few people, but lots of nature. We wandered around small communities - West Liberty, London, and Ada. Ohio Northern University, home of the Polar Bears, was picture-perfect - sunny skies, friendly town, everything in bloom, amid the bustle of graduation plans. People were so nice; one woman gave Doug an ONU Christmas ornament! (Is it too late to get another degree?) Here's a question for our fellow travelers. We see it on most menus, cafe windows, and benefit dinner signs. What is "baked steak?"

Yes, dear Erin - I "grew up on" it (as they say in "Ahia")->
Dear Granny lined the pan with foil, added some cheap (cube or round) steak, then covered it with golden mushroom soup & smothered it with onions...

Hi Judy and Doug,
This is Melissa. I met Doug in the alumni office at Ohio Northern University. I was working the front desk, when he appeared and explained your story. I think it is great that both of you are taking on such a journey. I wish both of you lucky with your continued adventures. Enjoy the Christmas ornament! :)
Melissa
