The Lewis home was not a quiet place and played host to family and friends alike. The pool always warm, and the drinks always cold which ensured the spare bedrooms stayed occupied and kitchen alive with tasty treats, and lots of laughter. Easter egg hunts for the grandchildren were a yearly event, and nobody left without indulging in homemade ice cream and if you were you really lucky, some homemade fudge. Kermit and Adrienne moved back to McConnelsville, Ohio. in 1991.
