Steve and I went to my parent's beautiful lake front log home just outside Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania for the long Labor Day weekend. My Dad is recovering from complications caused by thyroid surgery. Fortunately, there is no cancer; unfortunately, problems occurred that required a life-flight ride to another hospital, a tracheotomy, and days in intensive care. He's at home and improving a bit every day. It's no wonder. Everyone is caring for him, sending cards, calling, and the environment is utterly the picture of ideal nature.
We fed the blue gills bread crumbs, watched the trout stock the baby blue gills, saw geese in flight and their webbed tracks in the soft mud, played with Icky (the pet turtle), and had a wonderful lunch prepared by my sister Sonya and Vipin.
On the return trip, Steve and I had a picnic at the New River Gorge bridge viewing area. (Photo above of Steve on the trail to the overlook area.)
