Perthville’s Foster Parent has taken his children to the lake for a moment of reflection.

He confided to The Perthville Times that, after the deaths of their parents last year, the children have wanted to be near nature as they constantly feel sad.

“Nature is uplifting,” the knowledgeable father told The Perthville Times, his arms around the youngsters.

An underdressed man and woman, also standing on the jetty, were somewhat less sensitive to the meaning the place held for the trio.
