Yakima engulfed in fog: Snow Mt. Ranch

Me and Tarn are partying

First we danced, then we had a bud light, then we laughed when kitty tried to eat Damon. After that we took whale eye pictures of everyone in the house. Can you guess who's eyes are whos? Now Damon and I are laughing at Tarn dream about the hike earlier with Sue. When Tarn dreams his legs move like he is running and his tail starts wagging. He dreams most actively after a hike or a snowshoe.

Elusive Dairy Monster

Meet the elusive Dairy Monster. He lives at my parents house. I got him in college and, of course, as my parents knew would happen, he ended up with them. He loves it at their house where he spends most of his time hunting game. He has caught mice, rats, squirrels and even snakes. Unfortunately he likes to bring them into the house alive. You will never see him unless you are very lucky. He spends most of his time when there are visitors hiding under the bed. He is the softest, fuzziest monster you will ever meet. One of his greatest talents is stillness. If you take him to meet the dog then he is so still, he plays dead. It has served him well since he has avoided the coyotes at my parents house. If you put him on a leash, then he plays dead and you can sweep the floor with him. Today he is going to stay with my 85 year old grandma, Hazel, for week while my parents are out of town. Good luck Grandma! Good luck Monster!

This was my view today, or

I was sitting in Jon and Heather's living room watching her collage, or

I didn't have meetings all day until 2:15, or

All day meetings were interesting, or

I was headed to Phoenix with my parents and aunts so I could see some cactus.

I am not wishing I was Nate,Sue and Harper on a long flight from Germany.

Welcome back! I have loved following you on your adventure.

I guess it is all relative.

Damon has started blogging, I am sure that it will be all about bikes, oh goodie.

Someone explain this to me!

In the Baja, some of the signs have extra features. Not all, and we were wondering if our eyes were deceiving us. After passing too many with and too many without - we just had to stop and take a picture. My theory is it is a sticker, like the bullet hole stickers you sometimes see around here. Damon's theory is that convicts make the sign, and it is their joke. After I got out to take the picture (the road is fast and not very wide), Damon kept asking, was it a sticker???? I didn't have time to inspect, I just ran up and quickly snapped the shot. What is your theory?
