Snowshoe Hike Toward Carter Falls - 1/26/13
Got together with the Hallelujah Hikers and our Light Boot Hikers Group. We snowshoed from Longmire toward Carter Falls. It was a very cool and cloudy day, but that did not stop us. We hiked for about two miles, then stopped and had lunch. The hot chocolate was the best! It was great meeting new people. Bronka does not know a stranger, and she truly enjoyed herself.
Snow Shoe Hike to Edith Basin at Paradise, Mt. Rainier - 1/21/13
It was Martin Luther King Day and what an awesome day it was! The sun was out and it was warm, it was almost like spring was here. We had two groups on this snowshoe hike. The group Ted and I lead, the Light Boot Hikers and the Monday, Wanderers Group. What an amazing day with such wonderful people. We all appreciate days like this.

What a day for tubbing! Should have brought mine.
There is Monday group, Bronka is in there. They are in a pretty good line.

The Monday Wanderers.
Wow, such a beautiful day!
Someone took the time to stamp that in the snow. Really good!
Snow Shoe Hike to Edith Basin and Longmire - 1/14/13
Bronka, Liz and I started off for Paradise for a nice snowshoe hike to Edith Basin. But as we hiked around the area, we started to get into whiteout conditions. Since we did not feel safe walking into those conditions, we decided to go back to the parking lot and drive down to Longmire. We decided to hike the Trail of the Shadows. It is a nice flat trail and very pretty. So it turned out to be a great day.

Snowy Walk at Ashford Park - 1/8/13
Ted and I normally take our dogs for a walk every day. This day it was snowing. We love going to the Ashford Park and usually invite Bronka to come with us. Bronka loves getting out, no matter what the weather and she loves our dogs, Polly and Buster. Bronka used to be afraid of dogs after being bit by one several years ago. Now, she helps us walk them. Buster and Polly also love her.
Before we got Buster, Bronka and I used to take Polly on walks. Bronka and I would go on walks on the levy near her home. When we walked on the levy, sometimes we would see Buster roaming around by himself. Bronka called him a free spirit. He would love seeing us and come play with Polly. We thought he was soooo cute! Then he would take off. But Buster got into trouble for chasing the deer around the area. A neighbor called Animal Control and they were out looking for Buster. He was a wanted dog! Everytime we would see the vehicle, we knew his days were numbered. Well, I felt sorry for Buster and found out who the owner was. I have never met the owner, but met the people who lived with him when they were outside the owner's yard. They lived near our home. I asked them about Buster and told them if the owner did not want him, that we would take him. After a couple of weeks, the owner finally said we could have Buster, because Animal Control was going to fine him if he did not keep him at his home. Since the owner could not afford the fines, he allowed us to take Buster. I was so excited! Polly and Buster got along so well when they would see one another. Buster was the name his owner had named him, so we kept that name. After taking Buster, we took him into the vet and Buster got a good check up as well as all of his shots and fixed.
Buster is a very happy dog. He and Polly are in a large fenced in yard and we have a doggie door, on our back door, which he learned how to use and has access into the house whenever he wants. We have had him for two years now and love him dearly. Bronka was so happy that we took him in and always says that she can relate to Buster, as he was saved and is in a good home and well taken care of. Buster always gives Bronka kisses and she always giggles when he does this.

Out to the Movies to see Les Miserables - January 3, 2013
Ted and I took Bronka into town to do some shopping and decided to go to the moves. We took her to see Les Miserables. Bronka was very moved by Anne Hathaway's performance.

Walk around Ashford Park - 12/16/12
It was the first time it started to snow. So we took advantage of the weather and decided to go for a walk. Bonka comes with us on many of our walks in the park.

Looks like they are enjoying the weather!

Bronka loves getting out, no matter what the weather may be.
