The Boys

We were blessed to have our boys here for Thanksgiving.  Les came home from California by way of Boise Idaho in order to drop Andrew's drums off and to bring him here for Thanksgiving.  We hadn't seen Andy since our official move date of June 10th.  He's been keeping himself busy in Boise... looking for a job... playing with a band.

DJ took a week of leave from the Army and headed down here to Trinidad from Fort Carson near Colorado Springs.  It was so good to have our family together again.

I cooked a near-perfect Thanksgiving dinner with turkey and all of the trimmings.  Our friend, Jim, joined us for a meal.  It turned out that he was making his rounds on Thanksgiving Day as Joelle was out of town.  I know Jim attended at least 3 meals that day -- the boy must have been hungry.  Probably didn't eat for a week afterwards!

 The day after Thanksgiving was the tree and train lighting ceremony near City Hall.  Trinidad has a steam engine and a few old rail cars sitting near the river.  They light it up for Christmas along with a very large fir tree.  Many of the people from town gathered to watch as carols were sung and the tree and train were lit with sparkling white lights.

 Mindy and Schultz were happy to have the boys here as company.  I took many pictures of them, but then I realized that nearly every single picture I took of Mindy was blurry.  This creature does not stand for pictures.  Pretty much, the only time she's still is when she's sleeping, or if food is just about to hit her bowl.  What a character!

There's my Schultzie Boy!

What a Goof!!!!!!!!!!!
