Postmodern Jukebox Date Night - Dinner and Concert - Majestic Theater

 Several months back, I noticed that Postmodern Jukebox was returning to Dallas with a Christmas show and mentioned to Mister that I would love to go.  Soon after, he sent a calendar item to me that showed we had tickets for tonight.  Swoon.  Now, the evening has arrived and I'm stoked.  This seems like the BEST way to spend Black Friday.  Although the concert is not until 8, we are downtown around 5:30 and enjoying the sights and sounds.  You cannot believe how many birds are in those trees.  Goodness, it sounds like thousands.

Happy Thanksgiving - Abliene with Jen and Josh Bday

 Once Mister finished work for the day, we hit the road to Abilene.  A little over three hours later, we have arrived and dinner is served.  We are starving and homemade chili hits the spot perfectly.

Homeward Bound - 2 Days

 The calendar is telling us that we really need to start the trip home.  It's bright and early in Provo and after getting gas and finding the "Best Apple Fritter EVER" at a local service station, we are on our way.  It looks to be a pretty day - at least the morning part.  Enjoy the scenery with us.

Cassie's Time - Day 2

 Well, we're rested and heading for coffee and some food to get this day off on a great start.  Mister has found Waffle Love - and we're here to check it out.

Cassie's Time - Day 1

 Good Morning Provo, Utah!  It's a crisp, cool beginning with a beautiful backdrop.  We are up early and on our way to Cassie's so that we can catch all the grands before they head off to school.  We lost a full day here with our snowstorm fiasco, so we want to make the most of the time we do have.

Travel Time - Unexpected Craziness

 We are on the road again.  Saying a temporary good-bye to Montana with one last look at the lake.  This will ALWAYS feel like home to me. 

Montana - Mom's Time - Days 10-12

 It turns out that Mom will be hosting Christmas this year so the decision is made to get the house ready.  Yep, it's early but she will be able to enjoy it for a long time (January) and she has lots of help today.  On your mark, get set, let's go.  Boxes everywhere and pretties coming out.  The very last item is the tree and it's been years since I got to decorate a tree with my mom.  I loved it.

Montana - Mom's Time - Days 7--9

 A drive into town allowed us to peek around the area and survey the damage from the heavy snow on trees that were still fully leafed out.  It's not pretty.  These are just down the country road from Mom's house.  Doesn't look too bad, right?

Montana - Mom's Time - Days 4-6

 November has arrived and I'm making a trip into town for a few errands.  Since I'm all alone, stops along the way to celebrate the beauty of Autumn are easy to accommodate.  It is just such a beautiful Flathead Fall.
