Happy Thanksgiving

Eda's story (spelling corrected for ease of reading):
Once upon a time there lived a happy turkey. The turkey loved to play, but today was Thanksgiving. So Turkey had to hide. The turkey looked in the barn and just then the farmer walked in. Turkey ran out as fast as he could but the farmer chased him until the farmer was tired. Then the farmer went inside and the turkey went back into the barn, found a mailman suit and put it on. Then found a mailman bag with mail in it. Turkey went to the farmer's mail box and put it in there. The farmer went out to check his mail. Inside he found a package that said "Happy Thanksgiving" [on] it. Finally it was Thanksgiving night but the farmer did not have a turkey. Turkey had fun on Thanksgiving. The turkey lived happily ever after.

Nap Time

We took a trip to Denver

Ray was at some conference. The girls and I went to the zoo, went to a museum, checked out the Molly Brown house,  and climbed to the top of the state capital. It was a fun trip.

There's something in the cupboard...

We got a new puppy!

 The girls were playing with him so I tried to snap a few pictures.

Here he is:

 Except Trudy now knows what to do when a camera comes out.

So we had to try a different time.

Our last puppy, Gill, had a fatal attraction to chasing cars. So we were a few months without a dog. But then we found Laramie. Getting him was an adventure in itself, but we made it and so far he's been a pretty good dog.

Picking Dandelions

I love Trudy's bouquet.

According to the top three,

Daniel and Eda looked old-fashioned. Daniel because he had suspenders. Eda because she had curls. So I made the picture sepia and Eda didn't like it because it didn't look blue enough.
