A perfect way for me to start off a new year is by enjoying the company of family and friends and appreciating the beauty around me. So 2014 has started with a trip to Mom's house, where some of us were able to gather for a visit.There is quite a hub-bub of activity between playing games, being silly, talking, eating and hanging out; most of the time all these activities are being done simultaneously!!
Sometimes this multipurpose table is 'computer central for gamers'...
 |
| Very focused gamers :-) |
a good place for board games...
 |
| Sky was a serious contender in this game!! |
Martha got to join in the activities by Skype.
 |
| I wonder if they feel like they are being watched? |
Table is now in transition for its original use, a dinner table. In about 2 minutes the table is cleared of computers and filled with family eating together :-)
 |
| Gabriel and Sky getting a head start. |
Muscle showdown!
 |
| Andrew maintains his 'gaming focus'....but his arm muscles are still evident :-) |
Skype chatting
Sometimes there is a bit of a lull in activity.
 |
| Geoffrey says I need to let people know when I am going to take a picture....I don't think it helped here :-) |
All too soon, it is time for us to head back home. The snow held off until after we got back to start up. By the time we left to meet with Phillip for dinner, there was enough snow to be pretty, especially, with any lights still going.
 |
| A dusting of snow on the hummingbird. |
The next day a fun pattern of snow and shadows in the backyard.
 |
| Very cold looking now, but the flower pots are on standby for spring! |
 |
| up close of flaky snow |
 |
| interesting lighting on our back deck |
Yep, 2014 is off to a great start!!
