Stasia, condo bridge

My wife was still hurting from her fall. I was still exhausted from caregiving and a brutal month of deadline work. It was probably a bad idea to even try to make the day-trip north. But hey, it was my granddaughter's pre-school graduation ceremony, and, how could we miss that? It was, of course, a charming and chaotic show, and afterwards, as we tried to recover and gain back our strength for the schlep home, Stasia and I decided that a leg-stretching trek was in order to the marsh and the river. It's a favorite destination, and though the wildlife wasn't especially notable, the walking on a windy, clear day was just what the restorative doctor ordered. It's hard for me to believe how much that little girl has grown up, but the evidence is all there in the graduate's photograph.
