Family...
 
Today I got to be part of an awesome day. We had a reunion for the Winters family.  This would be my paternal Grandma's family. The above photo is my Dad (back center) and 12 of his 17 living cousins! 

There were so many funny moments today.  The best is how much those "boys" in the back row look alike. And the other was how the "girl" cousins called my Dad Billy and how much it annoyed him. ha! 

Family reunions always amaze me. Most of us attending have never met each other before today yet it felt like we had always known each other.  We share a family history and that makes us familiar. 

I am blessed and oh so privileged to be part of this wonderful family!

And the pretty lotion in the middle is "Mara's Magical Moisturizer" which I created for my granddaughter to help relieve some of her dry skin caused by eczema.  This is a new and improved version.  I am hoping this will work even better than the last batch. Not in this photo is the body wash I made.  Super rich and its wonderful smell is peppermint and sweet orange. The fun

The Witch's Hat... Stumbled across this quite by mistake today.  It took a little bit of four wheel driving to get up to the top of the hill due to MORE fresh snow overnight.  After a slippery walk up a bunch of steps and a snowy hill there was the most fabulous view of the beautiful city of Minneapolis.  This landmark is known as the "Witch's Hat".  This water tower was built in 1913 and sits in Prospect Park which is the highest natural spot in the city. With the lamp post in the foreground doesn't this remind you of Narnia -- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?
