Louis had a Birthday celebration last night. He's three.
There were lots of alpacas.
Weather was perfect.

Grand Daughters
Nina has found yet another way to share her hair control devices with grandpa.
It was either this or the purple one with Hello Kitty on it. Nina has a hard time parting with anything purple.
Rain has stopped and sun is out. Must go outside and let the little ones run.
Perfect weather for it.

Happy Thanksgiving
The grandkids and their support unit arrived yesterday.
It doesn't seem fair that one package could contain so much cute.
The night before when Papa was holding him before a barf bowl. An iPad is to Louis as the word "squirrel" is to the dog in Up.
Nina submits to hair combing; not her favorite activity.
The cooking began at first light. Now a last minute trip to Fred Meyers, then the good part starts.
Enjoy your family and friends today and be thankful (and warm).

False Advertising
I've been accused of false or deceptive advertising when I keep referring to the weather here as "perfect". Seems that some of my friends here don't have the proper state of mind. Why just yesterday I finally finished shoveling 18" of perfect weather. I'd show you pictures but they look identical to the ones I took last year.
That was after an identical storm that left all of the old timers in the neighborhood telling us new comers, "I've lived here all my life and we haven't seen this much snow in the last 30 years." I'm anxious to hear what they say now I'm still waiting for some of them to dig out to the street so we can all stand around leaning on our shovels and sharing. To borrow from an old colloquialism, the first "sharer" doesn't have a chance.
Anyway, got to keep working on the driveway. We've got room for the Subaru but grandkids are coming so must get rid of the rest of the "perfect weather" before they get here as it doesn't look like there is a really big warming trend coming anytime soon.
I know that the weather has been perfect where you are, but stay warm anyway.
