| So I did a thing. After about 7 years of long hair, I had it all cut off. | Our handsome Buddy, braving the snow. | 
|  | 
     Hello Canada! | 
| Less handsome after a bath, when he gets a little frizzy. | |
|  |  | 
| This is what I see anytime I take lettuce out of the fridge.  Feisty
  likes the green parts and Buddy likes the white stems. I get the leftover bits. | Poor Eric has a headache, and no shortage of animals wanting him to feel
  better. | 
|   One day we had some lovely weather, so we took a walk all the way
      around Costich Lake. |  | 
| She's figuring out how those long legs work now! | |
|  |  | 
| Also in February, I attended a rally held at the Canadian border in support of Canadian truckers. | The crowd while the speeches were being delivered. | 
|  |  | 
| Cool cloud activity. | The snow in fine form one sunny day. | 
|   Taken from the Tobacco Road area, looking generally toward our house. |  | 
| Opie, a neighbor dog that Buddy & I loved to visit.  Sadly, he was
  killed by a coyote, but we love to remember our little energetic friend. | |
|  |  | 
| We bought new tops for the tables and now it's starting to look like a coffee shop! | The Tri-State Restaurant Supply guys giving a training class on the coffee
  machine. Nuclear science is probably easier than the brewing of coffee! | 
|  |  | 
| I was the designated note-taker, only Kristi actually learned anything that day! | Buddy, enjoying one of about 2,000 puppuccinos that Buddy gets at the coffee shop. | 
|  |  | 
| Buddy, enduring the training session in style. He's in the chair, next the fireplace, on his Dad's coat. | Timbers Event Center, all dressed up for a Hope Church event, Beauty from Ashes. | 
|  |  | 
| The world's largest Charcuterie Board! | It was so fun to see music on our stage!  The stage lights and
  sound were my department, during the renovation project. I was very relieved to see everything working nicely. | 
|    | |
| The event was very well attended. | Here the Timbers Event Center is set up for a play. | 
|  |  | 
| This was a 'friends & family' day, a time for Kristi to practice
  making drinks for people who would give honest feedback. It was a fun time and so great to see people hanging out here, which is the dream! | This lady was part of the play production.  She was singing Patsy
  Cline and sounded just like her! | 
|  | |
| The funniest skit in the play featured our friend Andy Hansen. He's a hoot! | |
