I am always amazed at the excitement of this; many fly into our local airport and stay in this area rather than closer to Augusta.

I love your remark about the two forks being a symbol for a decision - my instant reaction was to quote Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" which begins "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood." My only visit to Cincinnati was a day trip that included a stop of Krohn Conservatory and a brief visit to a nearby park. <br /><br />Merging the various images into a story...I can see some possibilities. Your heroine meeting two very different men and having to make a decision between them (the split fork). Perhaps she is a professional golfer or at least a woman who enjoys playing the game. Maybe she is a widower and is still having a hard time with her grief (another possibility for the fork. Is she ready to move ahead with a new romance and life or is she still tied to the past and making frequent visits to the cemetary. Or it is possible that either her deceased husband or new love interest is a golfer? I think you could easily incorporate ideas from these photos into a great story!jaxlass/Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271370634856316852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-69793274987520199502016-05-17T12:21:38.096-07:002016-05-17T12:21:38.096-07:00the pictures are wonderful.

We ended our day at an Italian restaurant that we ate at a couple of different times. The place has been there under the same family ownership for over 100 years. We were surprised to see it still open.
