Deep in thought during a game of Balderdash. Mom had a distinct advantage in that none of us had ever seen her lie. We didn't stand a chance and she won every game.
Mom's Christmas present to all of us was a trip to Yosemite, complete with an evening at the Awahnee Hotel's Bracebridge Dinner on Christmas Day. We went snowboarding, hiking, and played several delightful games of Balderdash.
