Christmas day at My parent's

Opening gifts.

Christmas breakfast

I made pretty perfect huevos rancheros for breakfast. Andy, Janet and Bob joined us for a lovely Christmas morning. -Gerrit

Gingerbread train stations

Went to the Sheraton in downtown Seattle to check out the gingerbread train stations. Pretty elaborate, made with all sorts of candy.

Boat work

Finally started on Ann's rowboat. Needs another coat of epoxy, then the keel, skeg, more fiberglass, and then the inside. I need to get busy so I can have my garage parking spot again. -Gerrit

A snack at Von's

Went window shopping in Downtown Seattle on Saturday. We stopped at Von's for warm drinks, fries and clam chowder. Some odd meat roaster in the window kept us warm. -Gerrit
