Thanksgiving With Penelope

Our next travels took us to Menlo Park, CA, where we had already spent major bits of 2011-2013 helping out with grand-daughter Penelope, this time enabling her mom and dad to take a much-needed mini-vacation. Below are a variety of pix from our stay. Thanks, Rebecca and Jeremy, and again neighbor Maggie, who put us up.

Love all your photos of precious Penelope. Cara and David will come here for Christmas...hope to see Jason's family mid-January. Still have ice and snow on the ground here...not as much snow as when you visited, but this had ice underneath and with the cold weather, has stayed around longer.
Hugs to all!
