Nice Day

Since Mike and Duane had stuff they wanted to do today, Cindy and I decided that the time was right for a nice long visit.   Mostly sunny skies and a nice cool breeze prompted me to walk the mile between our rv park and her house along  the lake trail. It was very pleasant to walk along the graveled path, enjoying the play of sun and shadow and the cool breeze.

Mogadore Reservoir was formed in 1939 by damming the Little Cuyahoga River.  It was originally created to supply additional water to Akron industries downstream but now serves mostly recreational and flood protection purposes.  This quiet little lake has a maximum depth of 24 feet and allows electric motors only.

I was fortunate to see this blue heron in flight.

Cindy enjoyed a bit of shopping and a lot of yakking.  Back at her house Mike was ready to relax a bit and Duane rode over on the bike.

As we were getting ready for supper of burgers on the grill, Cindy’s New York cousin and his life-partner, newly arrived in town for the party tomorrow, showed up to say hello.  Mike and Cindy’s daughter Andrea and her partner Ken came over too.  We all enjoyed getting acquainted and reacquainted during supper on the deck until dusk brought out the mosquitos.

Tomorrow you’re invited to the big party!
