Winter is making her point this year! I like all the snow — something beautiful to go with the many cold days we would endure anyway. Still, thank God for heat, books, sugar and the hope that is Spring!

Happy Valentine’s Day!


Here are two of the many beautiful faces of Melody…

Philadelphia is such a beautiful, accessible city. I was glad to see the night lights and architecture recently with Alan. We had dinner and enjoyed a very fun, but COLD walk through town. I took a few shots as we drove around before heading home.
This view of the Philadelphia Museum of Art made getting out of the warm car worthwhile. It’s beautiful at night!

note: For scale, notice there are two people in front of the columns on the right!
