Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my family to yours. I hope that this time of the year is filled with fun and family and good food. Know that Bear was not amused by the antlers and promptly removed them himself after this photo but it still makes me giggle to look at because he
I managed to get a few cute pictures of Bear and Keltin among the chaos that is Main Street Grapevine at Christmas time and a couple funny stories! There was a rust bucket of a truck stopped at a long red playing loud music on the worst bass set up I have ever heard and
