Kyria came for a visit, and we had some excellent fun. She and Jeffery even let me win some games of Rummikub. We went for a goodly hike on the railroad tracks from Rock Creek to past Swamp Creek, and the next day, went to Stover Mountain Ski Area near Chester, CA for some snow shoeing. We also had a nice time visiting with our Loomis Cousins in Graeagle CA after Kyria had gone home. Love being with family!!

| We spotted this ant's nest, and this is only a wee bit of it. As Louise said, "Run, run away!" |
See? Wasn't that fun? Simple pleasures are the best, and Family is one of my favorite Joys.
Nice
