Best Friends

Have you seen the "Puppy Love" superbowl ad?  It's sappy and adorable, and way too cute to miss!  If this doesn't make you smile, check your pulse.

Seeing this reminded me of a six week old Daisy interacting with Boss.

 Seven years later, the trust and friendship remains.

Below is a photo of a bald eagle, hanging out in a cottonwood tree near the creek, looking for lunch.  Alas, the creek was frozen, so the fishing was poor. After a few hours, he moved on.  We've seen several bald eagles in the area this year.

Last week, we had a spring-like ride on Tabby Mountain.  

No snow, dry trails, and temps near 50 at 7000 feet.  This week, we're getting much-needed snow.  Back to winter!  Maybe next month the weather will cooperate for a trip to southern Utah.

Thanksgiving Memories

We hope everyone had a grand Thanksgiving feast.

We went to Atlanta for a family gathering.  As the years go by and our kids' families grow, getting everyone in the same place for a few days becomes a rare and special event.

Seeing the little cousins interact is so cute.  These 2 kiddos are within a year in age, and they had a great time.

Whether working on I-pad puzzles or listening to Aunt Tess/Mom read about the Grinch, they were bonding in a special way.

The 4 year old leans on her older cousin, learning the joys of video games.  As it turned out, her smile was a bit fake. Those dragons on the screen were scary!

Is Uncle Eric teaching his niece about plasma physics?  Could be!  Looks like she's paying attention.

An excellent time was had by all, thanks to our Atlanta son and his wife for hosting the fun!
