Good Family Time

Tonight was such a blessing. I was able to start my day working from home at 7am and wrap by 4pm (working through lunch at my desk). At a bit after 2pm Tee-tee Angie welcomed Maddi’s two littles, Tucker (a few weeks away from age 2) and Caroline (not yet a couple months old), in for the rest of the day. I popped down briefly to say howdie and then finished out my work.

Little walk to the entrance of Wool Hollow on Christmas during our anniversary weekend away

Angela and I visited the entrance gate of Wool Hollow cave. This was my first “wild cave” that I visited with the Mother Lode Grotto in 2021.

City Hotel in Sonora on Christmas Eve eve during our anniversary weekend away

Angela and I spent much of the afternoon of Christmas Eve eve walking around the old historic downtown of Sonora, California, on our 17th anniversary weekend away. We ducked into the City Hotel to snap this picture in front of their gigantic Christmas Tree.

Held My Granddaughter Today

Angie’s nickname instead of grandma is “Mimi”. Today Mimi was asked to watch our granddaughter. Our son had the day off and it sounds like he was exhausted and needed some sleep, which our granddaughter isn’t allowing much.
