We have returned.
I’ll let Brenda do all the details in her inimitable fashion, but for those of you who have been watching this space tirelessly waiting for news, we’re back.
It was a great trip. The flying was great and interesting. We had no real problems through the whole thing, but a couple of reroutes and other adventures. It’s kind of unusual to have a hurricane in Indiana, for example.
We’re back safe, and Brenda will be updating.
Happy Bastille Day.

Howdy,
For those of you watching from home, we’re here in Elmira and are catching up on our posts. The Steele Memorial Library has provided us complimentary Wi-Fi access, and images are forthcoming.
Having a great time; wish you were here.

The demand for pictures is high, so here’s a bunch from 4th of July.
We spent the day with the Dalton’s (Mary Ellen’s folks) , who have a place on Seneca Lake. My brother’s family enjoy boating and many of our family camping trips are at large bodies of water, so I felt right at home.

Water war: parents vs. kids

Each of the boat docks light flares at the end of the docks. Too dark to get an overall photo, but it was very cool to see the red glows across the lake…






S’mores by the fire

Pudgies gave us pizza when we were hungry. I love Pudgies.

Ohio State University Airport runs a lovely little airport, where we saw a nifty Piper Tomahawk:


As well as an interesting rust spot:

Mike, Kristen and the kids saw us off at the airport


And Max gave me this parting gift:

Breakfast at Uncle Bill’s for hotcakes a-plenty!
