Happy Valentine's Day! We had a wonderful plan for the day- our brother-in-law Rich, Nic, Gina, David and I were going to Prescott, drive up the Thumb Butte Park road to the mountain overlooking my old ranch, have a picnic, spend a few hours in Prescott. David and Rich drove Mom Farr's car over, to leave it at the Honda dealers for some maintenance work, then we'd meet them there and go for the drive in our truck, since it has four wheel drive and the ranch road can be rough.
Nic and Gina took his car, and followed me across Mingus Mountain. There were a lot of rocks on the road, falling from the cliffs, and there was a spray of rocks on a tight curve, the worst of which hit Nic's oil pan. Something about that little Jetta and rocks don't mix, it struck and hit it's mark and within seconds he was losing oil. Again-it happened last Sept. too! I went back to pick them up, we drove on into Prescott, picked up David, Rich and a car dolly. Needless to say, there was no jaunt up to the ranch, no leisurely picnic. Nic was pretty bummed out, as was I, but at least we were able to pick up the car pretty easily and get it back here. Gina and Nic made it to their Valentine dinner on time, Adele had a good time with Mom Farr, all in all not a terrible day, just not the one we planned!

Ode to Sugar
Sugar passed away last Thursday, it's taken me this long to be able to talk about it. She was the sweetest dog we've ever had, and it was hard to let her go. She was 15 years old, and didn't get sick until 2 weeks ago, then she just dropped so quickly. David and I took her to Airpark Animal Hospital in Cottonwood, they were wonderful. She gently went to sleep, and then we brought her home to be buried. Those that know me know I don't get very mushy about animals, but Sugar was special, and we all miss her.
