Last week with Piper Gaye, her daddy, her mama, her dog, her two kitty cats and her 5 chickens!

Grubepop and I spent a very special week in North Carolina with these dear kids! It was great! We enjoyed time with old friends. We even got to enjoy Piper's VERY 1st snow! She seemed fascinated by the fat, wet flakes. And - we got to see her VERY 1st Christmas tree! It was a truly beautiful time. Thank you J, P & P! And thank you Paige - for the yummy fresh cookies you baked for our trip back home. WAY better than peanuts!
