Thanksgiving weekend

We have had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Started off by this visit from our local turkey flock. Fortunetly for them, they don't taste very good- so they were in no danger of becoming dinner...

We were 7 for thanksgiving dinner- but no pictures were taken. Here is Mary, one of our dinner guests, and Joanie out by our bonfire prior to dinner.

On Friday we continued throwing anything that would burn onto our bonfire. It was a beautiful day to be working outside

On Saturday we drove up to Sherman Pass- elevation 5575'- where we found a foot of snow to test out our new snow shoes. Here is Kurt

and here is Joanie. We loved snowshoeing- it was easy to do, great exercise and great scenery.

Real light fixtures!

In the entire history of this room- which is 34 years as of this week- the light fixtures have never been more than a porcelan base and a bare light bulb. But now look- Three real light fixtures. Isn't Kurt clever!

And speaking of Kurt, here he is taking a well deserved (and needed) rest infront of the new-for-us satallite tv. Livin' the dream!
