Why Montana? (Part One) Why Montana? (Part Two) My Cousin Vinny Our journey continued to a town called Big Timber.  The reason we chose it as a potential future home?  Our dog’s name is Timber.  Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?  So, once again, I picked a hotel.  A “bed and breakfast” type place on a…

Why Montana? (Part One) Bears in the Bathroom We got up in the morning looking forward to a good breakfast to start off the day.  Now, we try to be pretty healthy, but come on, it’s breakfast on vacation and we were ready to load up.  Now, as I’ve said, I love Montana, but nobody…
