Visiting with family
Dennis and Rebecca Drew have returned home a visit with their son and family, Adam and Yanua Drew and children, Dennis and Dalia, in Espanola, New Mexico. On Memorial Day, the weather was sunny and warm and the family enjoyed a picnic to the Sipatu Ski area in the Sante Cristo Mountains.
On their return flight, the Drews were delayed 30 minutes at the airport as Air Force One was there waiting for the President to return from making a speech nearby. As a result of this delay they missed connections to Cincinnati, but made it home in good time, regardless.

Around the house
My menagerie has dwindled quite a bit since warm weather has arrived, but I still have the gold finch and red polls eating occasionally in the feeders. One lone deer was on the back lawn the other night so she got some cut-up apples and bread for a treat, which she made short work of.
The black cat is still in the barn and comes to get his food. The little cat next door still stalks him when he sees him, and the big cat just ignores him.
Dennis and Rebecca Drew have recently visited with their son and family, Adam and Yanua and children, Dennis and Dahlia, in Espanola, New Mexico. While there, on Memorial Day they all enjoyed a picnic in the Sipapu ski area in the Sante Cristo Mountains and took in all the lovely scenery in the area. On their return home they were delayed at the airport for 30 minutes while waiting for Air Force One to pick up the president, who was delivering a speech. As a result of the delay the Drew’s missed their connection in Cincinnati for Maine, but managed to make it home with no further delays.
