Quality time with your kids is priceless. Especially if your kids are as sweet, kind, beautiful, funny and smart as mine are. A nice lady took that picture of Mollie and I… Mollie and me?

We stayed overnight in a cute little cabin in Big Bear, way up in the mountains over Los Angeles.

It was ideal for us.

It was comfy and cozy, and had a kitchen. But it wasn’t so fancy… with a hot tub or anything… that would make you want to stay there every minute and not go out and play in the snow.

We each had our own room… although, I have to say that the pull-out bed in the couch was a little weird. My feet were much higher than my head.

We had some good bonding-relaxing time at the cabin.

Mollie did some yoga. And we meditated together. I have a new app on my phone just for that. We started a puzzle. We talked. We laughed. I love that kid.

The view from the deck was not too shabby.

And we were surrounded by snowy wilderness.

And let us not forget the flowers we saw on the way to the mountains.

The spectacular super-bloom from the heavier-than-usual Southern California rains this year.

That was a good two days.
