Papa and I flew to Nashville and drove to Kentucky yesterday. We came to be with my Dad before and after heart surgery. His surgery was this morning and he is now recovering. The road to full recovery will not be short or easy for an 81 year old. While Daddy was in surgery this morning, I walked 4 miles around a trail on hospital property, around a series of ponds. A family of geese were a joy to watch at a very stressful time.
