Nurit finish two new quilts.  This one is with Rebecca in York:

And this beautiful baby quilt she gave to Juniper the new grand-daughter of our good friends John and Gloria A.

If you’d like to see more pictures of the quilts on Flickr click here.

Rebecca and I hiked up to the Eaton Canyon Waterfall on Monday.

There was enough boulder hopping over the stream to make it fun with out it being dangerous.

This rock has been lodged at the top of the falls for perhaps 20 years:

And the graffiti is still everywhere.

Rebecca thought that the best solution was to invent a paint that has a release antidote.  I wanted to put in remote cameras catch and then spray paint some young men.  Albert Nock would say that if you live in an urban area this is one of the penalties, live with it.

This year for the first time in about twenty years Nurit didn’t cook Thanksgiving Dinner.  After we went hiking in Red Rock Canyon Lillian cooked up a storm. It was great.  She made a legless turkey and about a million side dishes.  All of them were delicious, with the possible exception of the gravy that was sweet and sour flavored.  I drank a lot of wine, talked too much and had a generally good time.  I was having so much fun I only took one photo:

Nurit, Lillian and Nazia

Nazia is Canadian via Africa and India.  I was thinking that her ancestory was unique until I realized that Lillian’s is American via Israel, England, Germany and Poland.

We can all be thankful that we live in a part of the world were we are judged by what we create not by who our ancestors are.   Happy Thanksgiving.  Our Las Vegas trip photo album

Nurit and I went to Las Vegas to have Thanksgiving dinner with Lillian.  In the morning we went to Red Rock Canyon for a hike.  It was lovely.

The aptly named Red Rock Canyon is a BLM site just west of Las Vegas and it is definitely worth a visit.  Even if you don’t hike the driving loop is spectacular. We drove the loop and hiked near Willow Springs.

It is nice that there is something to do in Vegas that doesn’t involve gambling, smoking or excess.

The park is dog friendly.  Lillian and her friends saw the wild burros when they visited and we saw a roadrunner.  Nice postcards in the gift shop.  Admission is $5.00 per car.  Life is good.  More Photos
