Far away

Every visit with family seems way too short and quick. Nana's are always the fastest trips, but we do get to see each other more often than the others. Ivan wanted to know where his Nana was since she left Sat. morning. Now he says: Nana house, go Nana house, far away!"







At least I'm thankful that we are in the era of cars and highways and airplane travel. When the frontiers populated the country it was goodbye forever. Then add the benefits of phones, e-mail, the internet and we can at least still keep up with each other.






We look kind of chilly at the park for a reason, it has been at or slightly above freezing here for a while and we went on a picnic lunch. Well, what else do you do when it's lunchtime and the darling grandson has been asking to go to the park for at least 2 days?

Ivan seems quite oblivious to the temperature when he's at the park. Of course, comparing to our Christmas, this is hot.

I do miss the snow and sunlight effects of the north, but it is nice to walk out the door with a light jacket and not have to bundle up.
