Family ties...

 Continuing our visit with my west coast brother and sister in law. Today, in addition to them, I got to spend time with two of my favorite nieces, one nephew, one great nephew, one great niece, and some fun family in laws. In addition we all ate very well. Pumpkin waffles for brunch, and for dinner, BBQ ribs and chicken (made with an old family recipe), mashed potato salad, melon pieces, chips, baked beans, cake and cheese cake. After most of the non-resident guests had left we played a rousing game of Mexican Train. Because it was his first time visiting here, we 'let' my wonder spouse win. All in all, a perfect day with the family. 

 Moon rise over the farm.
One of the guests, a friend as well as family by marriage, brought this merry-go-round horse to show me. She created it from an old child's jumping horse, and brought it along on their four hour drive to come visit, because she knew I would appreciate her creativity. I certainly did.
