Miniature

A month ago our art group did an assignment to paint a miniature, so I did one of my grand-daughters. Here it is!

Serious engineering

I told Kathrine that she should have majored in engineering. She answered, 'Who needs to when you have boys?'

Tallahassee Museum

Last weekend I drove down for a quicky visit to Florida. While there, we went to the Tallahassee Museum - fabulous natural habitat zoo and history.

The weather was just what you want Florida to be in winter! Lots of trails to hike.Real history. (The boys LOVE trains.)

There were birds and snakes and deer and wolves and bears and turkeys and several other native animals. Best of all was a real southern SWAMP.

Almost as good as the Okeefenokee!

Smithgall Woods

Monday and Tuesday we drove to the North Georgia Mountains to a retreat at Smithgall Woods. Delightful place!!!

When we got there, we found out we had our own perfect cabin, and it even had a hot tub!!! Which was necessary because while Jon was retreating, I went hiking along the creek with the other 'wife.'

Later we hiked a mile up and down a mountain to a double waterfall. It was glorious!

You couldn't fit the whole thing in a picture, so I took a video. It still doesn't do it justice. Enjoy anyway.
