Yesterday Phil and Walker went on an all day fishing/hiking trip. They left the house at 7:00 a.m. and got home about 9:00 p.m. They say they walked 15 miles, and from all the complaints about sore muscles and foot pain, I believe it! The following photos are from Phil's cell phone.

The last bit of the hike - tired and cranky.
The middle part of the hike - blissful fishing, napping, reading, sunning.
They didn't get any fish, but had a great day together.
Today, we discovered there was an unfortunate incident with Walker's plane ticket to go back to school! Its a long story, but suddenly we found he had NO ticket after all. He is supposed to leave Saturday. Many stressful phone calls later, he has a new ticket to leave Friday night on the red-eye. He will be flying all night and arriving in Michigan Saturday morning.
I scrambled to get a going-away feast together tonight. Steaks and red potatoes, salad from my CSA box, fresh green beans. He even had a glass of wine with us! Packing tonight, and all day tomorrow to finish up. The summer visit, although it was three whole months, has gone by fast.
Flying is sressful enough. No one needs ticket hassles, too. Bon voyage, Walker!
