Happy birthday, LC!

Here's a picture of my niece, LC, on her first birthday last week. It looks like it must have been a really fun birthday.

The Hannah Montana balloon must have been from my oldest niece, G.

Man in Black

Duke is so pretty this time of year, with his new darker coat. He looks like a bear.

Christmas green

'Tis the season to go green by removing my name from holiday catalog mailing lists.

Last week I removed myself from the Eddie Bauer mailing list. Next up: REI.

Duke's tricks

Duke is a horse of many talents. Here's a video of him doing tricks - smiling and then nodding yes (twice). I'm filming while queuing him, so bear with the bad camera work.

Potomac

The Potomac is gorgeous and peaceful, and gets even prettier this time of year. Duke and Gary approve.

Trail ride

Went for a great trail ride yesterday with Alan, Mary, Mark, and Rhonda.
