Home Sweet Home

Although it was great to be on vacation.....it's wonderful to give the kids a call and have them join us for supper. Thanks to Heather for mixing up a LARGE pot of delicious chile and take the heat off of Pat. I just love to hear the latest from each of their lives.

...........and reconnecting with my Granddaughters (and their cousin, Taylor.......)

..........and in general enjoying the love!!

We spent our last day in Joshua Tree National Park

As much as I like lush palms and water lapping on beautiful beaches....this dessert posed a very interesting diversion.....

An amazing landscape....

..........nothing like we see around Hanover....

How these formations were.....well......formed!

The great and the small of it....
