Christmas Eve at Granny's.

Christmas eve. Bishop offers $100 to each grandchild if they can get the four family dogs, Freddie, Rex, Daphne, and Tucker, to simultaneously sit in a line and pose for an image. Didn't happen, as the Bishop knew it wouldn't. Bishop never offers a challenge for monetary payout that he believes will be successful. But....but....!!! The crew WAS successful in getting all four dogs to sit at the same time, even if not for the desired lined up pose. The Bishop was impressed enough with this feat that he awarded each grandchild a $50 consolation prize.

Addendum:

Freddie looks totally comfortable in the truck. Any separation anxiety while you were skiing? I remember K2 or his pal ate your steering wheel in the other truck.

No separation anxiety. Bu and K2 often accompanied in the truck. They would rather be there than at home. Today was an exception, though. I skied for only a short time during the PM. On my normal AM ski excursions, Freddie stays home with TIMDT.
