fter family hour, we're all invited next door to the Gresses' country home for as much of the afternoon as each of us can spend.

The Gresses open up their 9-acre place to their friends and to the community. In the winter, we share lunch in their large dining room. After lunch, people migrate to various rooms where folks are talking, reading, playing games, or even singing. In warmer months, we have a picnic lunch followed by softball, horseshoes, Ping-Pong, volleyball, or anything else people have brought equipment for. You might try out the hammock or take a solitary walk up to the Gresses' pond!
