My Office This Afternoon

This was the view from my “office” this afternoon–any guesses where it is?

Here’s some “extra-curricular” photos from a few weeks ago. We have a new Verizon tower practically in our backyard, so I took Josiah and Lydia to take a look at it:

I’m sure Andy wouldn’t mind having that for his ham radio tower!

Josiah’s Note

Found this on the computer this afternoon–

Josiah’s learning to read and write; any guesses as to this Scripture passage from the Scribe?

This was his first afternoon trying the snowboard; I was impressed with his fearlessness.
