Candle light on the deck
The six votive candles give a warm glow over the deck table while the blue lights shine along the railing and the pool shows from down below.
Candlelabra
We hung the wrought iron candlelabra Michael brought us from Sweden over the table out back. At Beth's suggestion we glued corks to the bottom of each votive candle cup and placed them in the holder.
African corner of Music Room
Gary thought we should collect all our African art in one area. The red wall cover is a wool throw we had on the couch - and a perfect fit for the alcove!

Cool Pool in January
Sitting by the chiminea next to the pool on a cool January evening. We enjoyed some Boursin cheese, table water crackers and chardonay while listening to the creek and the hoot owls.

New Year's Ski Trip to Steamboat Springs
After family Christmas in Texas we took off for a week with Jev and Sydnor (and daughter Tori) in their Colorado home just five minutes from the lift. Michael, here from Stockholm, Ethan and Kelly went with us to ski the Rockies. Aside from one snowy day the weather was clear and crisp, perfect for carving our turns.
Tom apres ski
Watching the Rose Bowl after a long day on the slopes. The University of Texas beat University of Michigan by one point in the final two seconds!
A & T Ski
Sunny day and freshly groomed slopes are ideal for some really good runs. Can you guess who took this telephoto picture?
Flat tops at dawn
Miles to the South rise the Flat-tops at first light. This is a great place to hike in the summer.
Sunset over Steamboat Springs
At the end of our first day skiing we collapsed into comfy chairs and enjoyed this splendid light show.
