Quick Trip to Dallas and Brief Visit to Venice
I took a fast flight to Dallas for a customized workshop for a client. A great group of people and a highly productive session. Here’s a pic of “negotiation training” taken at the new Dallas Cowboy’s stadium.

The day after I returned I drove to Venice (Florida) to help strategize services with a long-term Canadian client over lunch.
Christmas in Colorado
The next day Jan and I were off to the airport to go visit our grandson (and his parents) in Parker, Colorado, outside of Denver. We arrived Friday evening, spent a busy Saturday and Sunday, and flew out Monday morning. Here are some shots from the Children’s Museum as well as Christmas at the Helman’s. Notice Jan’s expression after following Austie around the museum for three-plus hours! I think it says it all. Great trip.

Christmas in Apopka
Upon our return, we loaded up our motor home, BALY, along with Nancy and the Kids, and headed north. We set up camp at Wekiwa State Park in Apopka to spend our second Christmas. It was great to be camping again! On Thursday evening we hosted a Frogmore Stew campfire dinner at our campsite and entertained 26 family and friends. The rest of the weekend was spent gathering, eating, drinking, and conversing.

Pups Across America
Here are a couple of pics of the Kids all decked out for the holidays. Note how the colors accentuate the strong lines of the Kids.

Painterly Pups
This week I’ve added a painted version of Girl and Pup. The original photo was taken at Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterrey.

Come back next week for some more pup pics.
