Saturday the 19th
 we have arrived...!!!
Ü
...an early morning stroll and sniff... the rain has just arrived...!
...most of us are inside watching football staying dry...
not so much Kenzie... she is still just sitting there wondering why there aren't any squirrels down there...
we have arrived at our favorite place on earth...! 
The Buckeye...
...it's Sophie's first time and she is not interested in posing when there are five acres to explore... Ü
what an awesome day...
sitting in front of the fire... the cottage is pretty much all windows...
still raining... made homemade chicken noodle soup... 
....soooo relaxing... Ü
...really pouring this morning... the kids are soaked...
making homemade chili... looks like it's gonna be a 
fire, kindle, wine kind of afternoon... obviously i'm not complaining... Ü
...morning stroll 
in between the showers...
pups are lovin' it... 
back to the cottage for me...!
...perfect afternoon to let the pups hike themselves 
and lay on the patio 
while i put up the Christmas ornament Tree...
(and Sophie got her own personalized photo ornament...!)
...woke to a beautiful sunny day... 
perfect for a road trip into Boonville 
to buy what we need for Christmas dinner... Ü
our own 
Buckeye Christmas Tree... Ü
it was such a
gorgeous day...
the pups spent the 
whole day crusing around and laying out in the sun...
...in between rain showers the sun comes out... 
and the pups hike 
themselves... 
it probably seems so boring... 
but soup, wine, kindle, 
jigsaw puzzle w/ a view... 
i couldn't be more content...
8:00am ...baby, its cold outside...❄
...road trip to 
Navarro... 
right thru
Mendocino County
Wine Country...
gorgeous...!
stopped at the 
General Store...
the pups think everything is fun...
Ü
...rip roaring game of Crazy Town...!
...and they say 
football is a violent game... 
sissies... Ü
...beautiful cool and almost clear morning...
perfect for a morning stroll... 
or mad dash if you are Dallas and Kenzie...
early morning jog 
for the girls...
me n' the boyz are going back to bed 
to watch 
the Today show...
❄ Ü ❄
...warm enuff in the sun 
to have 
linguine and clams on the patio today...
Ü
...this afternoon 
Rookie and Sophie 
kept me company 
while I sat reading overlooking the valley... 
doesn't get much better than this...
cold, damp, super windy... the white ones are 
on their own...
me n' Baby D are 
sticking to the fire in the cottage...
...always beautiful tho... Ü
<sheesh> ... 
Krazy Kenzie is 
teaching 
Sophisticated Sophie 
how to dig for gophers...
and today is
Sophie's Birthday...!

Golden Gate Bridge

awesome drive...
