My parents, Richard

Ruger, 3, eating freshly fallen snow.

A favorite heirloom lilac in a special deep purple that flowers prolifically at our home.

Mud ruts at the end of a backroad. Really captures the Ohio countryside energy.

My son, Kyle Bensman, playing in the snow with his dog Sadie.

Our daughter, Jenna, and her dad on The Racer at Kings Island.

Enjoying Destin with my daughter, Jillian, in May 2017.

Kiser Lake State Park in Champaign County.

Cousins sledding: my son, Hudson; daughter, Logyn; nieces Harper and Hazel; and nephew Huitt.

Four generations: Judy, Julie, Jessica and 3-day-old Maggie Jae. We lost Judy this past winter but how lucky we were to have had her.
