Nice Day Today With a Grandson

Ice bubbles caught my eye today.

I had a most wonderful day today hanging out with grandson Stone. We met at Garland City Brewery in Watertown at noon. Had lunch and a great conversation about Artificial Intelligence (AI). He had his laptop and was able to demonstrate facets of what he was talking about. He is very excited about the potentials and ramifications of it. I was enlightened. His understanding of it is impressive. After lunch we drove out to son Troy's cabin in Lowville area. More good conversation and reminiscing. 

The ice bubbles caught my eye at Troy's place. I didn't work the subject in my usual way so feel I could have made better images.

I Visit Son Troy, Getting Closer To Christmas

Troy's place, Watson, NY

Yesterday, which was Sunday December 21, 2025, I drove out to Son Troy's hide away cabin in the woods in Watson, NY, (Lowville area).  Grandson Aiden was on hand too. It was a lovely afternoon and found great pleasure in their company. Aiden is a good looking, soft spoken interesting, young man. Chitmas is but a few days away and so I delivered a couple of token Christmas gifts with instructions not to open them until the 25th.  I headed back home bout 3:30, arriving there at 5:00 at which point I lit a charcoal fire and grilled some hoffman hot dogs. It was quite chilly, I'm going to say maybe only 20 degrees. 

Today awoke to a picturesque snow fallIt was pretty but didn't result in any serious accumulation. was spent doing domestic chores ( house cleaning). Picked up a bottle of pineapple flavored Jim Beam whiskey. Quite delicious. 

My iPhone app recorded 3,898 steps for yesterday. Today recorded 5,398 steps.
