Poole Forge, Lancaster County
5.23.2015

     It was a beautiful day. The children set off for Lancaster County to rent scooters for half the day. They left early as they needed to be out there by 9:00. The weather was unusually chilly and a bit windy. The thermometer climbed only to about 68 degrees that day. With youthful enthusiasm, off they went! Plans were made for Matthew and Dyanna to split from the group and for Grammy and Grandpop to meet at the covered bridge at Poole Forge along with Ron, Grace and me. 
     Matthew chose a lovely walking path at Money Rocks Park that led to a rocky high point overlooking the valley. There, he got down on bended knee and proposed to his chosen one. He offered her his name and a beautiful ring. She accepted.
     I admire this man who at the age of 20 has set his heart and mind towards something and is filled with the courage to pursue it. 
In the evening, after the proposal
