Meet Turk.....

I forgot to introduce another new grandpuppy. Val and Eric got Turk just after Christmas. We have yet to meet him in person but have been skyping with him and Chops. He is a really cute active addition to the family and is very smart and growing fast. We are looking forward to meeting him in person some day soon.

A Bluebird Ski

Yesterday the temp was in the 50's and windy but we went over to the golf course to get some exercise. The snow didn't stick at all to our skis (also due to our friend,PAM) and skied around the golf course for about 1 3/4 hr. It was a bluebird day and I didn't even mind the wind. I always wear too many clothes and was actually hot.

We also went to the Carpetbaggers Tournament last eve (putt putt golf tournament and dinner). It was fun and I even won some money for 3rd place. It's suppose to be cooler today but Arn's planning to golf (heading south to whatever course is open). He's golfed all winter so far as long as the weather is at least in the 40's or so.

Still missing him.........

It's been 7 years since Brandon passed away. Still missing him........

Getting together for his fav burger @ Gunther Toody's, having acai smoothies, and a drink @ a bar called Bernie's place.

Meet Clyde...

We finally got to meet little Clyde. He is Tim and Mere's (they are sharing custody, coparenting?) new puppy. He has a sweet personality and is very cute. He's also very curious (cast on leg/woodpile incident) and foil ingestion incident. Hopefully we will get to dogsit for a couple of weeks in May.

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Meredith request a flourless chocolate cake this year for her birthday so we gave it a try. There are many recipes available on the online and it was simple to make. 'Flourless' has become very popular in restaraurants because so many people are having problems with gluten or just want to say away from gluten. This dessert is good for 'no gluten' but takes 8 eggs so isn't good if you are watching your cholesterol. It was very tasty and I'd make it again but might look for a healthier recipe. It texture was kind of like a dense brownie and I liked it because it was very chocolaty but not extremely sweet. We topped it with greek yogurt and a little eldeberry syrup.

Happy Valentine's Day
