It is 6:45 P.M. Sunday evening and this is the latest I have ever posted to the blog.  We just got back to Oxnard from my son’s house.  I could have posted from there, but it wasn’t convenient this morning. 

We had a great time visiting our granddaughter.  It is amazing how much she has grown in a short time.  Children grow up so fast.  It really doesn’t seem that long ago that our son was a young boy and now he is a father.

COLD!  I forgot what it is like to be out in the cold.  It does get cold up in the mountains.  It was so cold that the clouds on of the hills were leaving the trees covered in white as if it had been snowing.  I’m almost sure it was just the dampness freezing on the trees.

My son keeps a fire going in his free standing Franklin fireplace all day and it still has hot coals the next morning to start the next day’s fire.  A huge oak tree fell on his property, so he has plenty of hardwood to burn.
