Jordan always wants to fish in any body of water.  This is Lodi Lake just a few blocks from my cousin's home.

My cousin (actually second cousin once removed) lives in a typical suburban home.  Lodi is a small town about an hour's drive from our home.  Many of the Germans who lived in Russia settled there.
Ruby and her husband Wilbert.  Very nice people and always friendly.  I showed them photographs of my trip and the map showing the location of Gnadental, the German village where my family lived in Ukraine.  It is located between Saratav and Artiz, Ukraine.
No visit to Ruby's would be compete without food.  Ruby made a large lunch for us.  Here we are enjoying strawberry rhubarb pie.
