"I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life." - Sidney Poitier, Bahamian-American actor and film director

We're celebrating Dear Ol' Dad this weekend, so be sure to check out the Father's Day activities in this week's Wanderings. Or just relax with some outdoor fun, like this kayaker is doing along the edge of White Lake in Elizabeth Roy's photo. They're having a moonlight paddle there Monday! Welcome to all new Wanderers who signed up at last weekend's ParkFest @ Bread Lock Park, where Marge W. of Washington Township was the lucky winner in our Explore Warren drawing of a pair of tickets to Jesus Christ Superstar at Centenary Stage Company in August. Enjoy the show, Marge! Happy Father's Day, and Happy Wanderings!
