but close!

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

Can you see it?  The river in the background?  Ah, isn’t it beautiful.  I am sure you were wondering what Anita and I do in the winter since we can’t paddleboard.  Well, today our brother Joe and Sister-in-law Anne decided to drive up from the Philadelphia area so that we could take advantage of the snow.  They needed to try out their Christmas present – cross country skis – and Anita and I were more than happy to take them on the trail and show them the river.  She and I were gazing at the water thinking of what a wonderful paddle boarding season we had last  year and how much fun we had together.  We are so lucky to have each other and to have such a great family.  We love being together.  Today was a great day made even better by having them here.  Just a fair warning … Now that we got out on the trail once, we are hooked.  You may have to endure some more photos of us playing in the snow, well, as long as the weather cooperates.  Enjoy the snow!
