A short time later, Abraham happily celebrates Thanksgiving. Here are the preparations.
The festive dinner: a collaborative effort.

Welcome to fall in Boise.
During a walk in Kathryn Albertons Park, with Lizzie.
The park is full of people, many accompanied by photographers, posing with babies, families, bridegrooms, cowboy hats, or by themselves. A good thing to do, when the weather is still warm.

This is what mass in coronavirus Germany looks like.
In memoriam: Our Mama and Oma.
Guess where that is
Moving on to Southern France!
To explore beautiful villages
Enjoy wine, cheese, olives, confit de canard
And find art everywhere
(This is the Vasarely Foundation in Aix-on-Provence. Check out this mind-blowing video)
This is where the baguette comes from...
... and other fine things
(technically it's the patisserie that makes these)
The old village and chateau at Lex Baux
A nearby truffle farm, where we hunt for delicacies with the expert dogs
All these beautiful things come with visiting family, and swapping one boy for another for an exchange year in Germany.
These are "the four siblings".

Staying home, month three.
There are things that can get done, during a virus pandemic. No more lawn, new planters, and a remodel.
On the shores of the Payette River, camping.
Yeah, no kids.

Grill season is open, with the weather so nice.
Successfully coaxed two teenagers to contribute to a mother's day picture. It wasn't easy.

There is the occasional walk.
Grab a beer, start the laptop,
Cheers!

Welcome to COVID-19. We arrive at the middle of March to canceled concerts, work-from-home arrangements, and many worried people. Stay safe, everyone!
The sun is out, though, to enjoy time on the mountain.

Happy 2020, everyone!
From the teenagers, too.
There is some time off, to play Dungeons and Dragons.
We haven't been on ice skates in a while, like everyone else around. We still do some turns under the big tree with the many balls.
