It Started Out as Raking Leaves

 I've noticed that my rose bush in the back yard (just a mini that came in a pot as a gift from Jen several years ago) is starting to bloom again.  This is a for sure indicator of how nice our weather has been.

Scenes from Montana - Days 13-15 and Trip Home

Scenes from Montana - Days 9-12

Scenes From Montana - Days 7-8 - Road Trip South

 5th -   While here in Montana, I am working on a few projects and have made progress today.  Woot, woot.  However, the best part of being here, besides family, is the never ending eye candy.  Here is a little looking out, looking in fun.

Next, we are off to Kalispell with Mom for her Holter Monitor fitting.  All goes well and we are in and out within half an hour - if only all doctor visits went this quick.  Some shopping and running of errands and then back home we go.

Scenes From Montana - Days 3-6 and Bigfork History

 1st -   It's a quiet day in Woods Bay with just a trip to the grocery store on the agenda.  I tried to grab a few pictures of the cherry orchards along the way as they were FULL of golden color.  Mister is quietly working away as he didn't take many vacation days this trip.

Heading North Again - Montana Days 1&2 - Mom's Bday and Halloween

The fall trip to Montana has begun and it's oh so early of a beginning.  We have put our home in the rear view mirror at 3 a.m. and are making our way to the airport.  Ya just never know how long the lines will be and it's best to be prepared.

Dallas Daytripping

 It all starts with tickets to the Van Gogh exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art.  We have those and the museum opens at 11.  Leaving the house at 8 makes for some time to kill.  Come along and share in our amazing day.  First stop is a new-to-us coffee shop along the way.  Here is the Buzz and Bustle LINK  so you can check it out yourself, if you so desire.  That's why I make a separate link now and then - not all who read this give a hoot about coffee in Dallas.  It is what it is.

The other day, I mentioned to Mister that we had not thoroughly explored an area of our city.  We had been there a couple of times, but not to really check it out, so that is our next destination.  Here is the Thanks-Giving LINK to see what this is all about.  It has been in movies, on stamps, and much more.  What a great stop - so much to see and learn right here where we live.
