Pics from Christmas





Needing a new post and the only new pics I have are from Christmas.  Hope you will indulge me while I post some from C. dinner. These are my 2 oldest sons and their families and my oldest granddaughter and her family.

She's back!

Ms Thing is doing much better.  At least she is back to reading the paper.

Beach in January



At this time of year my thoughts are often of Wrightsville Beach, N. C. So I thought I would post some pictures I took there in June, 2012.  This is my "happy place."

Waiting for someone to come up with an idea

We're out of room so I'll just put this up until someone comes up with an idea for a post.  Nothing of interest in my parts.
