The Borich Family~Chapter 2: New York

The 1st weekend at our new home in Dryden, NY was spent with my parents, who came to help us get settled. My mom just doesn't sleep well if she doesn't know where her children lay their heads. Since I am the first to move a significant distance from the rest of my family, I appreciated that they were willing to extend one of Mom's business trips to come see our new digs. We also REALLY appreciated all the ugly wallpaper that they helped us strip from EVERY SINGLE wall in the new house. If they sleep better having helped us out, the least we could do for them is let 'em, right?!

Since Joe has lived here without us for 3 months, he has been able to do some sightseeing with Bruce. Ithaca is famous for it's gorges~and there are few words to describe the stunning beauty that awaited us as we went to 2 of Ithaca's state parks. The more impressive of the 2 was Robert H. Treman State Park, which has 2 levels and a great hike between them. These pix are from Treman. It's such a different kind of beauty than that which we grew accustomed to in the mountains of Idaho and Utah, and it took our breath away! The sagebrush and pine trees don't quite hit the vibrant shades of green that exist in abundance here in Central NY.



















If the beauty that we saw here is any indication of the rest of our new surroundings, we are truly blessed to be able to experience it firsthand.
