Mammoth!











Hello to you all! Here are a few pictures of our weekend in Mammoth. The girls and I went and had a "girls only" weekend since Ron was in Vegas for a company function and Ryan was in a show. We had a great time. The weather was perfect and no crowds! The snowman was HUGE and there was one at every lodge. Paige smacked her head pretty good on a faceplant, but other than that, no injuries. I did feel like I needed a shotgun however to keep the boys at bay. It was pretty funny! Love to everyone:)

From My Window


Still having fun with the telephoto lens! These guys hang out at the bird feeders and drive Birdie crazy! She loves to chase them and they seem to enjoy taunting her. When too many of them become too pesky, they wind up deep-fried. Tastes just like chicken!
We had another 8" of new snow on Wednesday, and more forecast for tonight/tomorrow. Yahoo!
The band is preparing to play at Meadowlark's Winter Ball, this next Saturday. Meadowlark is a retirement community, a very happening retirement community, and we've played there several times already. The Winter Ball is a big deal for them, so we've added 7 or 8 new songs just for them, ie. Blue Moon, All of Me, Sweet Dreams, Waltz Across Texas, This Magic Moment and others. I'm playing a small drum with brushes on some of them, sounds good. So, we're back on the AARP Tour, obviously. At least the pay is good...
That's all for now, lots of love to everyone!

New Photos







Last year, I inherited this very jazzy camera, and I was fooling around with the telephoto lens, shooting through the bathroom window towards the bird feeders. Not only were the birds plentiful, but 6 deer came nosing around. You never know what you're going to see out the bathroom window!
