I haven’t taken many pictures and those I’ve taken aren’t very good. But here are a few to give you a sense of things. For the first couple weeks we stayed at my sister-in-law’s awesome place. Here’s the basic view, though picture’s can’t do it justice because it’s so wide and I don’t have the skills to do it right.

ME AND LUCY

Here’s a picture of me and the wee-one. She’s obscured in shadow and I’ve got my Frankenstein smile going. But she’s having a grand time.

COSMO SAYS RELAX

And last, here’s Cosmo, who’s staying at the big house (the rest of us moved into a very nice cabin — which doesn’t allow dogs. Grrrr — after Jess and Lucy returned from Alaska). We see him every day for long walks, deer chasing etc. But it vexes us he can’t stay with us. But that’s a topic for another day.
