After Christmas

 The day after Christmas,

we jumped in the car

and headed to California.

What can I say?

Sometimes you just need to go visit your family.

We found some lovely mandarin oranges in Sutter California.

 While we were there,

we stopped by the cemetery.

We had a nice visit with my parents.

Here's my dad, 6 months after his stroke.

We hung out with Liz and Jeff.

Enjoyed the sunshine.

Visited with other friends and family.

All and all, we had a very nice trip.

Then it was back to Idaho.

It snowed most of the way through Nevada.

We came home to this.

Yes, it is happy,

but it is a frozen world here.
