Intentional TonicDom & Tabbie (8/29/13 – 9/1/13) On 8/29, our friends from the UK joined us in Montana! What a distance! After stopping in Atlanta to visit with family, we are so happy they came all the way to see us! We started off on Friday at the Stillwater River. Even though we’ve been several times this…
Update Post (Aug 2013) As of Monday, the Rock Creek fire was 85% contained. Before then, JR went out to the fire area and took a few pictures: The firefighters even saved this structure. Dedication. We also passed by the airport and snapped a few quick (poor) pictures of the helicopters assisting in the fire work (these…
Lake Fork with Bunny (8/25/13) Since arriving in Montana and being “set free,” Scarlett has settled down quite a bit. On our road walks, she tends to stay within eyesight and has been coming when called quite reliably (unless there’s a really, really good scent to follow). So, on Sunday, JR and I took Bunny…
Capstones (8/20/13) Many of you are aware we are in the midst of stonework, mainly consisting of wrapping the deck posts in stone. Brian, our mason, suggested we find our own capstones to seal off the tops. So, on Tuesday, JR and Brian went to Wyoming to find capstones for the posts. They did a…
Goat at the Grocery (8/15/13) Well, you just don’t see this every day. I was putting my grocery cart in the cart corral and saw what I thought was the back of a really weird looking dog. Because it wasn’t a dog, it was a goat. In the back of a pickup. You know you’re…
Bobcat (8/2013) Luckily, we’re talking about a mechanical brand bobcat, not the Lynx Rufus kind of bobcat! JR rented a Bobcat to move the remaining piles of dirt left over from the excavation of the house and road. The road also needs some work before we get any snow. He used some of the dirt…
Rock Creek Fire Some of y’all that visited us went to the Rock Creek area, so you’ll know where the fire is located. Another familiar area may be the Silver Run trail loops which are now closed due to the fire. For updates click the link for InciWeb. You will land on the “incident information”…
Yellowstone National Park JR and I took the dogs to Yellowstone National Park on Saturday, 8/17. We got a late start getting organized and getting food pre-chopped, cooked, and packed for camp dinners. We hit two construction delays – one at the top of the pass and one in the park. It added an hour…
Why Montana? (Part One) Why Montana? (Part Two) Why Montana? (Part Three) Paradise Found, Lost, and Found Again Here’s the part where all the bad hotels and breakfasts were worth it. As we drove toward our final destination for the trip, with not much hope left, we couldn’t believe the views. I think we pulled…
Look who made the local paper! The newest, and may I say handsomest, local businessman! Impressive!
