Cloud Prism

After all of these years staring at the sky, I noticed a new thing on my ride home last night- a prism or rainbow of colors showing up on the edge of a cloud.

Probably not that rare, but I thought it was cool :)

Lap Attack

Pepper has gotten more affectionate in his old age and is turning into quite a lap cat.

And Sherman is.. well.. Sherman.

Family Outing to Ft. Worth

We went on a family outing to Fort Worth today to see the special Monet exhibit at the Kimbell Museum of  Art. The museum didn't open until noon, so went to the botanical gardens and the Japanese Garden first. It was a lovely morning to visit. No pictures from the exhibit, but it was a fabulous exhibit! http://earlymonet.kimbellart.org/

All Clear

Keira got her glasses yesterday. 

These are her backup frames (we are waiting for the insurance to kick in for the main frames), but they look super cute. 

She is actually really liking them, and doing great. 

It helps that they really clear up her vision (which had been getting pretty bad).

Winding Down on Winding Trails

We had a great gift exchange Christmas morning, but still needed some fresh air once it was all done.
