A simple on-line journal of some of the events of our retirement. Not necessarily the most memorable or significant happenings - but those which remind us of our journey (and for which we had a camera at hand and remembered to use!)

Papaw Tabor on Dry Run Creek
One of the highlights since we've been here is a visit by my Dad, my brother Ronnie and his son-in-law Jeff. They were up primarily so we could take Dad fishing on Dry Run Creek. This incredible resource is dedicated for fishing only by youth and mobility impaired adults. It is a beautiful stream packed with many large and spunky trout. This was Dad's second trip there, but his most productive. He caught around 40 very nice fish in a matter of a few hours before the cold weather nudged us on our way. He was wishing that his experience could be formulated in a pill since he could not be coaxed to rest on his walker and he "felt no pain". We left a few trout flies in the overhanging branches as a result of missed strikes - led to a lot of laughs and some good-natured kidding.
