My oldest son, and his son. I am blessed.

the nook sunset

Living in the plains of the Midwest does have its benefits. I do miss the Atlantic Ocean on the south shores of Long Island… the mountains of upstate New York… but I have come to appreciate the many beautiful horizons of our town: Minooka.

winter expedition

We are having a very cold and snowy winter in the Midwest, but my youngest son and I went out for a winter expedition after the snow storm, and, before the temperatures plummeted – it is now -15 Fahrenheit. It was absolutely beautiful.
