In Niagra Falls... we grabbed a couple of bikes and headed for the park.

A visit to the shooting range...

Brandon and Jon helping prepare Thanksgiving Dinner!

Covid restrictions were starting to loosen around this time, but we were still masking in Vegas...

Jon surprised me with a trip to Vegas for my birthday! Even though we battled the heat (b/c he was too cheap to get Ubers) we had a great time! We were asked on stage to assist David Copperfield in one of his illusions.

With my birthday approaching, Jon searched high and low for a bakery that could make a sugar free cake. The cake was lovely, but the taste... well, let's just say we didn't finish this one!

When I was out of town, Jon went for a walk. He came across some flowers and thought it would be great to cut a few and surprise me with this bouquet.

Katie and Brandon seated across from us at Dave and Buster's... Yep, it was time to eat.

Katie, Brandon, and Naomi preparing for a virtual reality experience!

Jon and Katie discussing the game of Pong.

This is one of the trails near our home. A lovely walk that makes one really appreciate nature.

Time in our theater room became a photo shoot where I asked Jon to "show me happy", "show me sad", "show me afraid", etc. All of which resulted in a bout of laughter.

Brandon and I at Dave & Buster's...

A visit to Dave and Buster's with Katie.

Out on one of our many house hunts...

Jon often surprises me with flowers... for no other reason than to let me know I was in his thoughts while he was out running errands.

We spent the morning at a local venue making this lovely jewelry container and soap dish! Next time, we will work on something a bit more sophisticated!

Brandon giving me a silly pose in one of the houses we'd toured...

For my 50th birthday, I awoke to a room of surprises and love...

It was a windy day as we traveled the country roads of North Carolina looking at different properties and houses. This was a promising site near a small lake.

Jon's first birthday cake in our new home. This was so yummy!

Jon and Katie at Dave & Buster's...

Cuddling after a long day of work and play!

Jon, Brandon, Katie and Naomi - our characters for a game of Mario Cart! Somehow Jon won both games!

Looking for ways for us to walk instead of Uber on our vacation...lol

Opening Christmas gifts…

Christmas is my favorite time of year!

Movie night with Jon and Brandon...

Our Christmas tree and mantle. We had a wonderful time decorating for Christmas

Bonnie came down for a visit! This is a photo of the three of us at the Van Gough exhibit.

We attended one of the summer’s neighborhood events and captured this photo one of the many beautiful horses in our neighborhood.

The Arch was so beautifully illuminated under the light of the moon.
