Ps. We weren’t able to get out and watch Chris’s burn as part of the New Year’s highlight… But he sent me these pictures. It looks like it was a beautiful burn

 

We had a quiet day around home with Linda., David and Willa. We took a great walk up to the  gorge, then came back and ttook a few thermal pictures then  cooked a really yummy dinner.. Seafood Aribata. Home made pasta which we made together covered in Spicy Calabrian sauce .. All served with salad  and Dianes home made bread.. So delicious. A great way to end the year !

 

We were all asleep (except me) by the time it was midnight.. A peaceful end to a busy year.

I hope everyone had as nice New years

Lets make this new year a fun and interesting one !

Todays the day that all the kids head back out west. Diane woke up early and took Max and Becky to their plane.. Then I took Gabe to his plane aroudn noon.

It’s been so great hanging out with Max, Beck and Gabe.. We missed having Sammantha here.. and as always missed our Sam. 

 

WHile I was at the airport, I stoped at Beta to give my friend Denise and her Son Luke and Lukes gf Chip a tour of Beta.. That was fun !

 

We’d ordered a pelican case for Gabe’s microscope.. so I spent some time customize it to protect Gabe’s scope.   It came out well !

Gettign ready for new years !
