| One, big, happy family! L to R: Jordan, Jackson, Clayton, Hunter, Liz, Gayle, Tom not pictured: Amanda and yours truly
Sadly, every time I tripped the shutter our soon-to-be daughter, Amanda , was busy playing hostess or chauffeur. Much love and many thanks, sweet Amanda!

As you exit from the front doorway and turn left, you head up a steep climb to a hiking path that takes you into an adjacent park. You can literally walk the ridgeline for several miles. Here's our group getting our Christmas day exercise...

Typical sunrise chat
Pensive moment
Ancient oaks abound
Path to paradise (including a mountain top pool and spa)
Care to chill out?
Shedding some light on...well...the shed.
Most all meals were community efforts and served in house. No one suffered any caloric deficiencies. And...music prevailed. Between Jordan and his guitar passion and Tom Canning, a lifetime professional musician, there was no lack of musical synergy.
Finally...things to avoid. Full contact astrology is not a preferred spectator sport. While venturing onto the patio in the dark to capture a glimpse of the captivating cosmos, the blogmeister clumsily careened off the catwalk and tangled his tarsals and mangled his metatarsals.
But, hey...all's well that ends well. It was more than worth it!!
Here's hoping everyone had a most memorable Christmas and is expecting a nifty New Year!
