Jan. 2, 2013 - Happy New Year - new pics

Happy New Year!

I wanted to post some of the last pics of our buddy Trapper who died on November 27.


He played ball with Lily on the deck.

Took a Gator ride with all the kids... big and little.

Found a warm spot in front of the fireplace.

Got some attention from Lily.

Trapper's final resting place. 
Harvey's art work marks the spot where I buried Trap near the lake.


Happier times.....
Thanksgiving with the whole family here.








 L to R above:   Frank VI, Frank V, Lily, Crystal, Brenda, Frank, Emily, Connor, Tyler.



Here are some recent pics at year end.
Late December evening sky reflecting off the lake.

The view from our master bedroom. This was the morning after our first snowfall.

The lake is frozen solid now. Even from some inside the house you can faintly hear the lake "talking". The iced over lake makes sounds like whale calls or a video game. Its eery. Never heard this before.










 Brenda did a great job decorating the house for our first Christmas here.



 A couple of coyotes decided to take the short cut to the west side of the lake one morning in late December.





 And here's our place on January 1, 2013.
