A Mystery

Recently, I put a couple of frozen chicken breasts out to thaw in the kitchen. Much to my surprise, I discovered one by the front door.

 
How could this have happened, I wondered....

Could one of these three be the culprit?
 
 
 
Who looks guilty?

Christmas in Las Vegas


was especially festive this year, the snow really set
the holiday tone...

We had our tree decorating party on the snowiest day, when even the Strip was covered in white, and the schools were closed.

But the glittery-est holiday party of all was Marty and Tim's
annual gathering. Wonderful fun!

The Showgirl Must Go On



Bette Midler's wonderful production, "The Showgirl Must Go On", is in itself worthy of a trip to Las Vegas. We saw it on Friday evening with Terry and Mitzie, and we were all enthralled.

My first attempt at mobile blogging using the iPhone. I took this shot last week in K'ville and sent it via email to blogger, and by jove, it worked!

Peggy Sue's Birthday hike

 

On election day, and coincidentally Peggy Sue's actual birthday, a bunch of gals, dogs and Grant hiked up the Four Mile Trail at the Johnsondale Bridge.

Wild Cucumber

 
I just love this stuff in any season.

Riverkern view

 
It rained nearly 3/4 of an inch today. It was glorious, and fast and hard. April and I walked up the Whiskey Flat Trail and got drenched.

Here's a slideshow of the basin over the last two days

Fall Color

 
We took a drive about 40 miles north to Quaking Aspen, near Ponderosa. The trees were in all their golden glory, the leaves dropping quickly as the afternoon breeze came through. Here's a slide show
