Good Morning World

Charlie greeting Wendy from the barn cat entrance/exit in the upper part of the Dutch doors. 

The snow is diminished enough now to see the ground here and there...

Big Frezz in charge.

The latest snow storm that hit the country and Philadelphia stopped southeast of us about 3 miles. We got a dusting of snow and certainly some cold, but fared well this time compared to many others of our country-men and -women.

Frezz on his throne.

The boys' school teachers are having an in-service day so all kids in the district are home.

Aidan is busy with the bow and arrows he has been making for himself the past couple of weeks. Interesting. Denied the store-bought weaponry he was lusting after a couple of months ago, he resorted to his own constructions. Today, one of his arrows went about 100 yards. He is proud of it and has marked which one of the arrows was responsible.

Nimble Aidan fetched his best arrow in no time.

Keoni as I was finishing the paper this morning...

Many family members are on the move. Valerie and Tim are moving from Salt Lake area to Albuquerque. Sonja is moving with the boys to other Salt Lake housing to have her own home; maybe, a year there and can then move to Albuquerque, too. Cousin Marilyn and Alan are selling and moving into larger quarters in their Des Moines neighborhood. Niece Kelly and Jeff are moving from K.C. to Portland, Oregon. Niece Katy and Tori are moving from St. Louis area to Boise, Idaho.

The kitchen is busy with the grandsons making vanilla wafers for the banana pudding that is next on their list. Oh my, I am delirious with granules of sugar combining with butter dancing in my head.

Every now and then Aidan and Keoni do some jamming on tunes they love. A video I made last night had too many pixels and failed to hop from my iPhone to the computer to the blog. It's on my Facebook page though. They are aware of their wobbles, but, still, it is great hearing and seeing them work with great concentration and make music. For long, long moments the order of siblings is nonexistent. Here is a still...

Wendy is shampooing the carpets she hates; that is, all of them. I mind the washer loads and our day progresses well.

'Bye.
