Quiet Winter Beauty of the Mountains

Our intention was to enjoy a couple of days of rest.
Realistically, we have done just that.

However, there was a stubborn lock...
and a new tool to play with.

The wine bottles
\
that were naked
and needing labels.
 Done!

Back to resting.

This is where our Keens
took us today.
To the still, quiet wonderful outdoors
in the mountains.
Come sit with us!

Family, Four Wheeler and Food!

Our first trip of 2013 took us through Spartanburg. SC
on our way to DC.
For the first time in several years,
our entire family spent a couple of days together.
So, I tortured them by asking for a picture.
This is one happy Grammy.

My 4 wheeler kept three of our grandsons
busy at Christmas, but it is time to return 
to the mountains.

On our hike today we found
this ice patch at the stream.
There was an ice patch in the hot tub 
when we arrived.
As usual, my mountain man repaired it
and we enjoyed it this morning and afternoon.
 The afternoon view.

What's for dinner?
Homemade turkey soup
YUM!
