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.

Montana - Mom's Time - Days 1-3

 Another travel day for us.  Today we are crossing the state of Montana and watching the changing views as the terrain goes from farmland/prairie to mountain.  Additionally, we go from fall to winter and back again through the journey.  Take a peek.

Montana - Matt's Time

Four p.m. on the 21st has arrived and we are hitting the road.  Leaving Dallas at rush hour is always an experience and it takes us a wee bit.  By the time the sun goes down, we are well on our way past the metroplex. 

By midnight, we are just leaving Texas.  Yep, 8 hours into the trip and Hello Oklahoma.  Time for me to sleep a bit - Mister is pulling the all-nighter.

Montana - Rhiana's Time

 A little house switching took place this afternoon.  I am getting my first chance to hold a brand new granddaughter.  Oh the joy!

Beachtime - Day 7 Sunrise and Trip Home Via Wallis

Dang - the last day has arrived.  I don't wish to miss even one minute before I have to pack.  Down to the sand we go.

Beachtime - Days 5 - 6

 It is another fabulous morning down here at Surfside.  I simply love the wee hours and the beauty provided.  It's obvious, right?  I mean I don't get out of bed this early at home just to walk and look around.  There is something magical and oh so grounding about the oceans edge.
