October 11 – 13 It was DELIGHTFUL to have Lydia and Hannah spend two days with us during their quick trip from Maine. It also meant we got to see a bit more of Nathaniel and Abby (Hannah and Lydia’s sister) and our only great-grandchild, Anthony. In this picture Nathaniel was shopping for something online […]

Sunday, October 26 ~ Rolling Prairie, Indiana, to Duluth, Minnesota I was hoping to capture the pretty reflection of lights on the water, but there wasn’t enough light while in a moving vehicle.

Consequently it is where my […]
