A Day With the HamFam – Sept 18, 2023

Unfortunately Bill was working; we missed him :(. But the rest of us had an enjoyable, rather laid-back day together. Lyra did our hair (well, the girls – me, Casey, and Luna), we got to spend time with Leelan’s rabbit (who isn’t a fan of strangers) and with their 4½-month-old puppy Shylo. Casey made a …

Letting Lyra Loose!

With my camera, that is! I let her take my little CoolPix down the hill (I was watching from the tent!) to see what she would come up with. (She also, I see, let 3YO Luna take a few!) Pretty darned amazing for an 8-year-old; I am impressed! (Note that these have been optimized to …
