Happy New Year, Belated

We somehow failed to post our new year greetings... We managed to do some traveling between Christmas and New Year and visited a few important friends. Kayo had to work the New Year's Day, so our celebration was rather tame. Things are pretty much back to our normal now. 
Tonight we had our regularly occurring cheese platter, completed with our own dried persimmon slices. The persimmon experiment was a success, though we had much doubt.

For dessert we had homemade vanilla ice cream, served with Baileys, thanks to the gift from Santa in Ironwood. Yum.
