  5. MOL YAM-Aunty mom must confess to having taken off her coat hood for the photo. It it lined and nearly swallows her head. She told Dad to snap it quick and she could hardly move with all the sweaters but she was warm.
    Hugs Madi you friend who is happy to have 55F degrees for a high today

  6. I wonder how old that vessel is. I don't think they have built ships with those kinds of chimneys for a long time.
