the lake that i walk ruca around every night. it's iced over almost all of it with two night below 0 in a row.

frozen water & rock skipping lords

ruca is in heaven in the biggest off-leash dog park i've ever seen. as far as you can see - full of rivers and trees and meadows. it's amazing. last night was into the 10-20 below range and all of the water was frozen on the ponds and rivers. ruca had never seen that. she found a friend in a little dog named lizzie that kept falling through the ice. ruca didn't. maybe she is smart after all.



found some impromptu rock skipping buddies. i saw one guy trying to pull some tricks and we decided that the real test would be to skip one up the little falls. we both made it eventually. good skippers, though. we started getting silly with, "two skips, onto the ice, two skips on the other side and into the water" kinds of attempts. pretty fun.


full throttle freaking out. she is so happy running down these paths.


sunset in the trees. it's getting cold out.


clinton lake at sunset.

the bird brings good news

the dinner was wonderful even if we look a little serious. tired, really. such a great little place. reminds me of portland or somewhere pac northwestern. we also have a picture of the baby. wendy is just starting to show. she's pushing out here, but it's becoming more obvious and real. pretty hot for a pregnant chick if i do say so meself.

happy valentines day from kansas

welcome, this is where the newest information will reside for our journey into kansas life. wendy and i will be sampling the culinary delights of a small vegetarian (ish) bistro in kansas city tonight for our valentines day extravaganza.

i just received a hand-made package of sweets and goodies, plus a single yellow rose floating in water, and a hand-made card made up from old valentines day cards from an antique store. what a lucky gentlman i is.

come back for more pictures and words later.

buffalo road

these gentlemen are to be found on the road home. they were very lazy when the picture was taken by wendy. they are always up and about doing buffalo stuff. usually anyway.

home and such

the trailer is what we are looking to purchase when we get settled.


until then we are in the 'burb style, gingerbread homes that you see here. one is our place - the beige one and the other is our view out the door. we're about to start looking for a place, it'll do for now.

day at the lake

here's one of the many lakes around. perry lake. we will be coming out here a lot. ruca is in dog heaven.
