A wonderful Christmas dinner at Erna and Marvin's...

Thank you so much for your hospitality,  dear friends and neighbours!

Erna cutting the rack of lamb.



Itt's too bad the light isn't so great but this is a painting Erna did...now,  talk about channelling Georgia O'Keefe!




Artistic talent runs in the family.  This is an oil painting Erna's brother did.  It is the view of their front patio and the mountains.   Erna and Marvin have a wonderful view of the mountains from their place.  I can understand why her brother wanted to paint it.



Marvin was very well known as a cyclist in Baltimore.  This is a photo that appeared in a local newspaper article.  That's a lot of cycling!

Retiree shifts gears, over and over again Cycling: Marvin Yaker, a retired city housing employee, is the No. 1 devotee of the North Central Railroad Trail, making 40-mile round trips five times a week.

Erna,  me,  Marvin



The lamb was absolutely fabulous!
