In addition to her horse riding lessons, Liz also received a Cameo from Billy Boyd, who played Pippen in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was quite enjoyed!

For birthday cake, Liz decided she wanted to take a bite directly from the cake. After an initial mouthful of icing, the second bite was more successful.

A wonderful time at the June Jamboree - she rode the Sizzler (her favorite) about a half dozen times. We had K Burgers and corn on the cob and ice cream. Until next June!

Today we had to say goodbye to our sweet Asha. She had liver cancer, and there was nothing we could do other than let her pass peacefully, with humane euthanasia.
Liz and I buried her in a safe, protected, beautiful spot, and made her a little headstone to mark her grave. She brought us so much joy. We will miss you, little hoggie girl.

Flying home from a business trip, I was able to coordinate bringing home Summer for a long visit. Liz was quite thrilled when I had taken custody of Summer, and we were en route to home!

Today we ventured to the zoo and had a fantastic time with the butterflies, feeding the birds, and especially playing with the sharks and stingrays for LITERAL HOURS.

Summer accompanied Lizzy to riding lessons, and of course got to ride a bit herself.

A very fine day for the waterpark! We rented a cabana to provide some respite, and fun in the lazy river, water slides, and big pool.

Riding lessons means time to love on assorted farm animals.

Summer had never had a pedicure and requested we get one, so for the first time since (at least) 2019, Liz and I found ourselves getting our toes tided up.
The day of fun was not over, as we headed to a park for some hiking.

After 19 wonderful days, I had to fly Summer back to Minnesota. We can't wait for our next visit!

This year Liz chose to stay home and hand out candy, in a rather intense dark costume of her own creation. Ed helped her with the lantern/staff setup, but everything else was her design. She frightened several children, so mission accomplished.

For her Christmas gift this year, Liz wanted to spend the holiday with Summer at their cabin in Minnesota. Wish granted! They had a wonderful week going snow tubing, shopping, to see a Mrs. Doubtfire theater production, and spending Christmas Day at Great Wolf Lodge and the Mall of America the day after. It was a busy but fun week!
