“During your life, everything you do and everyone you meet rubs off in some way. Some bit of everything you experience stays with everyone you've ever known, and nothing is lost. That's what is eternal, these little specks of experience in a great, enormous river that has no end.”  Harriet Doerr


Celebration of Life.  The High Sierra Bar & Grill & El Dorado Hotel family would like to invite everyone to a Celebration of Life honoring our friend Jeff "Dock" Reidy on Thursday, December 10th at the High Sierra Bar & Grill. The celebration will begin at High Noon with a Lone Star Beer toast to our beloved Dock. Bring your guitars and musical instruments and best "Dock" stories so we can enjoy the afternoon story telling and honoring Dock to his family that will be here to take in Dock’s legacy spoken from the friends that knew him the best. Dock spent most afternoons sitting with his best friend "Little Man" right outside the bar entertaining our guests and we will forever be grateful for Dock's friendship. RIP Dock you will be missed.

Alpine Animal Shelter LADY is a lovely little Beagle/Border Collie mix who is eager for love and confused to be abandoned at the shelter. Still, she’s ready to give love another go. At 26 pounds, she is a great size for riding in the car, snuggling in your lap, and enjoying the outdoors. She is certainly capable of being a running and hiking partner, despite her petite size. LADY is 2-years-old, well-mannered, spayed, micro chipped, and up to date on all shots. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road. All AAS animals are online at https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 For more info email heatherthemule@gmail.com
