Old Fashioned Valentine Party

Everyone, including Frank, decorated a sack to hold their valentines.



















After dinner we exchanged our valentines






















































Connie and Darrel arrived late so Joe took the liberty to decorate Connie's valentine sack. He drew a devil on it and when she walked in door we all laughed when we saw her shirt, it had a devil on it.

Snow Shoe Outing

We are trying to get lots of exercise and snow shoeing is perfect. This is Del Norte Peak, a 13,000' mountain, we hiked it a couple of summers ago.


We had to decend on a SW facing slope, as you can see there wasn't much snow. This hike was on the east side of town where it doesn't snow quite as much as around our home.

The "Group".

Notice the snow shoes Dick Dove is wearing, these are authentic shoes!



We hiked near Dick's ranch and he told us a lot about the area. This is a volcano.
