Tuesday Lake Trail Walk

Here's a picture of our unit in building 14 of Fox Hunt.... tucked up in the mountain

We drove over to Fairfield Lake today and walked the whole lake trail, which is 3.2 miles. It was beautiful and cold and clear. 

 

Monday in the Mountains

Daryl and I got out on Monday for a hour to walk around Meadow Lake. It was so cold and it was so pretty. 

When we went to pickup dinner at Slopeside Tavern next to the ski slope, they were putting out a fresh layer of snow - it's going to get even colder tonight. 

Road Trip

We've road tripped to Sapphire NC to enjoy some time in the mountains. Several of us are feeling a little poorly, but we'd rather be sick in the mountains than sick at home. Enjoying our cabin time this week. 

And the lights are so pretty at night in Cashiers on the Green

 

Christmas Day 2025

We spent Christmas in Seffner with family. We had breakfast and then did pictures and opened presents. Later we had a big lunch and hung out together. It turned out to be a really nice day. 

The six Allen grandkids. 

Six grandkids plus two extras: Micah's girlfriend Mikki and Kayla's boyfriend Ab.

Merry Christmas Eve!

All five of us were present for the 5pm Christmas Eve service at Grace UMC in Venice. They had a huge crowd and it was a wonderful worship service. 

The obligatory family picture.
