Okay, another GIF-laden post as a way to put something quick and fun up, since Tuesday was a very long work day (yes, working from home makes for a LONGER work day than working in the office).
Let me start with a picture to warm everyone up. Me, we have 6-9 inches of snow outside today. I had the kids sweeping the front step and walk every couple of hours today, and the neighbor we share the driveway

with ran the snow blower twice. Hard to tell he did much, but he did a lot.
So here is the warm photo:
These pictures came from this past summer — the bonfire at the going-away party for my niece Sofia before she left for a year as an exchange student to Latvia .

We had a really fun time, and the kids had a lot of fun too.
Speaking of which, here is a picture of the kids having fun:
So, does everyone feel warmer? if you don’t feel warmer, you should at least have more of a smile than you did before.
Now to put up a GIF that I have no idea why I ended up with it. I remember being at the campground where I took these pictures, but to take enough that Google+ decided it was a good set to turn into a GIF. Just a truck unloading gravel, gravel the campground would use to pave its parking spots for vehicles at the campsites. But either way, it is actually quite a nice GIF.
