Christmas Vacation 2009 A-Z: E is for

Elk and Elk Burgers: At Blondie's Diner near Zion National Park in Utah. As we drove into the parking lot behind the building, we saw a bull-dozer loading feed into a trough. At first, I thought they were deer. Kelli pointed out that they were elk. That was cool enough. Who sees domestic elk in NYC? And then I saw the menu. So ... I ate locally. Very locally. It was so good. Plus, all the extra bits are used as decorations.
and

Elle: My little Elle-Belle has gotten so big since I saw her last. Walking and talking and opinionating, oh my. Plus ... such a good "mama" to her dollies and a big sister to be.

My goodness, what big eyes you have.
