Our granddaughter, Ellie, has been asking her parents for a dog for years. We've already had about 4 pre-namings. Our latest scheme or conspiracy goes as follows: Jenni and I will buy a dog. We'll then realize that wherever we stay in San Diego won't allow dogs to board. In addition, as we travel frequently, we'll have to ask Natalie to keep the dog which of course is for the kiddies' sake. At that stage, the kids will be happy, Mom and Dad will have to take care of the dog and Jenni and I will be happy because someone is looking after our dog and we'll be even happier because the kids are happy. Overall, everyone will be happy except one person which is not bad odds. Who can ever underestimate the world's greatest conspiracy, the one between grandchildren and grandparents against...Guess Who? To be grammatically correct, should that rather read "Guess whom?"
At last. We finally discovered what that gadget on the wall is for.
And we thought our good friend David (Diamond) was only an expert in matters financial...it shows, he goes 'against the grain'.
Meantime, back in Elfin Forest, the editor searches the steep slope for a stray dog for Ellie and Benny.
Perhaps she'll find a dog swimming in the dam, Olivenhaim, Escondido.
Reflections.
The search continues for a St. Bernard for Ellie and Ben on Bernardo Mountain.
I15 Freeway, not our favorite landscape scene but Hodgson Dam is pleasant.
At the peak, taking the gap.
Height and low-light hide many blemishes although not required from this peak.
At last, we find a friendly dog in Borovets, Bulgaria, a couple of months ago.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey

It's been fun looking through your keyboard and camera at areas that I know quite well. The Gorge walk is one of the most popular in the entire Berg, and I could tell you a number of stories of people I've come across there. One story I have to tell you is that the large rock you're standing on (Looking for some respite from height) is what our family calls "Granny's Rock." It's where we deposited the ashes of my wife Terri's mother and later of her father. It's a wonderful spot. Another wonderful blog, my friend. I's so glad to be receiving them. All love and best wishes to you and the editor for 2019 and beyond.
Hi Doug,
Thanks for sharing a truly moving set of events...they're more than a story. What a pleasure and treat to be in touch. Best wishes to you and your family. Jeffrey
