Wayde and I have been watching, rather sadly, the last couple of weeks as several people have been cleaning and fixing the little blue house on the right as you go down the hill and out of the LVH gate. Sadly, because we knew there was an elderly man living there and we have to surmise he either went into a home or passed away. It is nice to see the house fixed up, though. As we were driving by yesterday afternoon we noticed a man cleaning the roof. I thought I saw something else on the roof and asked Wayde to go back to take a look. Sure enough, as you see to the left of the stove pipe there is a small raccoon. The raccoon just stood there while the man worked, apparently they were friends. What a nice way to end the day!

Goodbye Mary...
