The journey to daughter's house seemed to take forever this time! It is a long trip. The weather along the way was good and we actually made good time. We had a good old rest Friday night. Saturday was a busy day. It was the Christmas get-together with my Son-in-law's family. I made sausage rolls - which are always enjoyed - and we had a lot of other food. We exchanged gifts, did a gift game and generally had a nice time. It was a little different as my Son-in-law had lost his dad this past summer, the first Christmas without him, and his mom was obviously not in a great holiday celebrating mood.
Today - Sunday - husband and I took a quick trip to the wildlife refuge. Because of the lack of snow the drive is still open! We saw several eagles. There isn't a lot of other bird life around - the ponds are mostly frozen over. Husband filled up the car ready for his trip back tomorrow. It is going to be strange. The rest of the day we are just relaxing.

Sasha seems really sad. She just lost Koda (their other husky) a few weeks ago. Koda was older than her and she knew nothing but Koda.
I'll hopefully be back tomorrow and catch up with other blogs.
Glad you made it up there, safely. The first Christmas without a loved one is always so difficult, isn't it? Enjoy your stay with your daughter and son-in-law and those adorable dogs.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was quite difficult for Son-in-law and his family. Thank you.
DeleteSierra looks so cute! Poor Sasha - animals feel more than we expect, I think. I know evil cat mourned psycho cat deeply. Please pass on gentle scritches to both of them.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a great time there and relax. Sending hugs.
Poor Sasha has certainly had a rough time - she has lost her two most recent companions Shasta and Koda. It just seemed as though she was getting over Shasta and then poor Koda.
DeleteThanks. Now that everything is done I am taking some time to relax before baby arrives.
It looks very cold in your photographs. Sierra is such a pretty dog and still a puppy in her own mind, like our Gilbert.
ReplyDeleteIt was really cold this morning! Everything was frozen. She is a lovely dog, but definitely still a puppy and learning her place.
