Diane and I took an early hike up near the bamforth ridge trail we bushwhacked up soem old logging roads until we intercepted the long trail and cam down. I love hiking in early morning like that

After work today.. My freind Tyeler came to test out a new demo i’ve been workign on. It’s easier for me to build it hwere at hone. It was fun having him over and getting his input. It’s almost (finally) done !

It’ll be good to get this out for people to play with !

We had a good amount of snow today which was really welcome.. .. everything looked  so fresh.   We knew the storm was coming and correctly predicted that the roads would be a mess.. so Diane canceled Yoga.. 

We took advantage of the free evening to go skiing on the river shore. It was really quiet and beautiful !

I love Dians reflective hat !.. It’s magical !

Woke to a significant moment.. I ate the laast christmas cookie in the house.. not a moment to take lightly. It had been a spectacular season for cookies.. diane had made all kinds.. 

THe last was an anise frosted biscotti.. The last was just as delicious as the first 

This afternoon our good friends.. and sort of relatives Bill and Debra, tehir daughter Clara, Son in law Sam and granddaughter Esther came buy for dinner along with my cousin and Bill’s cousin Jon and Jean.. 

Jon is my dad’s first cousin, and his mom and bills mom are. sisters.. so they are first cousins.. I think that makes bill and me freinds-in-law

This was our first tiem meetign Ester and Sam.. super nice family. Clara, Esther and Sam live in New Orleans..where Sam is a graduate student in philosophy.. I think thats so cool !

It was great hanging out with everyone !

Jon and Bill got out a family tree from  their Moms’ side of the family.. Not my relatives.. but they looked relatively relatively

You know it’s been a fun evenign when all the plates in the house need washing 🙂

Nite all, nite sam
