In preparation for Labor Day weekend, Sarah and Ben and David headed to Sunny Garden where Suzanne joined us and we waited a few minutes for the Justs to arrive so that we could dig into noodles pancakes dumplings bean curd vegetable lo mein rice and fish as a send off for our trip to Western Pennsylvania the next day.

The next day started in the car staring at the door and waiting for our last riders to emerge.

Once in the car, Benjamin dyed his tongue and then nibbled on Jane's toes before we bound her feet and focussed on the traffic before we saw our last gas before our arrival at the King Edward where Milt was waiting as Sarah and Jane settled in and Norma served some food that caused Jane to express an opinion about the knitting Suzanne and Sarah were completing.

Dinner included a nice salad and beautiful strawberries that complemented Ben's plate and mine though we seem to have captured Sarah at a bad moment and then at at a better one as Benjamin Norma and Jane watched. Sarah took these pictures of me to Milt's amusement as further pictures of me and Benjamin were taken before Jane decided to go into black and white mode and record a flower iced tea bottles and multiple views of light on a cookie before turning the flash off and going back to color pictures of wine glasses to end the day.

Saturday morning began with this self portrait in Katie's room before my breakfast bagel and pictures of Suzanne Andy Ben Sarah vegetables Sam Jane Katie Debbie and Suzanne around the table.

Around noon, I extracted Ben and Sam from their game and we drove past the Warhol to parking by the dinosaur near the statue of Honus Wagner at PNC Park where our buccos were playing.

Once inside, we got a plate which Ben filled as did I and Sam to the amusement of our waiter who showed us the way to this carrot cake before we emerged through this gate and took our seats behind home plate to look out at the stadium and watch the game as batters checked the scoreboard before the next pitch and we ate wings and left peanut shells before the next batter as the man with the tail watched the next pitch as we roamed the stadium and got Ben and then all of us against the backdrop of the city.

Next we went to the room celebrating Bob Prince and the Pirates of my youth. This ad was familiar as were the sayings on this coat and this picture of Bob Prince himself. Continuing our tour of the stadium, we got the good city views the playground view the view of Heinz Stadium and a few looks down at the field before we came back to watch the Buccos lose the game.

That evening, dinner was at Andy and Debbie's. We took a few pictures of Katy in her room which she was nice enough to let us use and then pictures of Norma and Suzanne Sarah and Milt and Katy before focusing on the food that kept Ben Suzanne Norma Sarah Robert and Sally Milt and Andy and Katy coming back for more and more food including this artistic plate made by Katy was in the food that kept on coming.

After dinner, I took this picture of the women in my life and we recorded the shared pair of socks before posing for more traditional pictures including this picture of Norma and Milt getting ready to go. Somehow this led to more foot pictures and some last attempts to capture the shared pair of socks all to amusement of Sam.

Sunday morning, I woke up Suzanne then Jane and as we were ready to drive off, there was some motion in the kitchen so we said good bye before heading to Johnnie's Restaurant at Exit 15 for lunch. This was the bathroom sign as Jane's cheese steak and Ben's turkey hoagie and Sarah's selection from the salad bar and my grilled cheese sandwich made Suzanne happy as she ate her BLT and I took this self portrait to celebrate the workers of the world.
