Ely, Nevada

We visited our adventurous and dynamic friends, Louise and Birdie at their summer home in Ely, Nevada. They have a wonderful place overlooking a nature park where the deer show up as the sun goes down. Louise took us off-roading in their fun 4-wheeler jeep and gave us a tour of the town. Ely is a friendly little western town with lots of history. When we returned to Birdie, he had a fire roaring in the fire pit. We spent hours talking by the fire. I believe it was the first time in weeks that both John and I sat back and kicked up our feet up and really relaxed. Good conversation, good friends, it was a good night.

Maggie, their dog, just may be
the smartest pooch we've ever met.
