Two of our grandsons are in southern California visiting their other grandparents. They and their parents made it out of town before the snow and ice.

Meanwhile we've spent a few days with our other grandsons, Jake and Tyler Stump, who live just up the road from us. We were on the sled, threw snowballs and built a snowman in our side yard. You can't often do that in our part of Oregon, and we've had a blast.

Then tonight Nanci and I took out Steve and Sue Keels for Steve's 53rd birthday. Mexican food, a movie and a great time with great friends. Nice to have a couple of fun days as a break from a project I've been working on for a long time. Thanks, Lord, for the fun.

Now, in God's providence while calling up these pics taken in the last few days, I came across some other ones I'd collected. Some of them make me smile. Here's a few of them to share with you, just for fun.
