Basin Lake Campground (7/17/14 – 7/20/14) Basin Lake Campground is about 30-40 minutes from our house, just before the Beartooth Pass.  It’s back in the woods, right by Rock Creek.  So, while it was in the high 80s in Red Lodge, we were wearing fleece and winter hats at night and in the morning.  It…

No, No, No (8-24-14) It rained steadily from Thursday evening through early Sunday morning.  It was “socked in” so much that we didn’t see the mountains until Sunday morning when we rose and saw this:   Snow!  Holy moly.  On Wednesday, there was no snow at all up there.  It got down to the mid-forties…

Landscape – Phase II (8-19-14) The long-awaiting and much-desired Phase II of the Grand Landscape Plan has been started.  It will be a no-mud winter for us!  Well, at least a-lot-less-mud winter anyway.  This was all supposed to start the week after July 4th, but got delayed until this week.  We were starting to think…

Recent Events (Aug 2014) The doe and her fawns have been around a lot recently.  They are growing up right before our very eyes, sniff, sniff.  🙂 We had a heck of a storm with lots of lightning.  One strike hit just across Hwy 78 and started a fire.  JR called 911.  No answer.  He…

Big News (8-13-14) Don’t be mad, but we’ve been secreting away some big news for a few weeks.  JR and I had discussed the topic throughout our marriage, but did not think it would ever happen for us, especially at this time in our lives.  But, we decided to make a lifestyle change and made…

Darius! (7/14/14) Here are two people having a blast at the Darius Rucker concert in Vail, CO.  We’ll be seeing you again, Sir!  Fun, fun show! Not a bad seat in the house.  We even got our dance on in the aisle!  Vacation!  Love it!

Traffic Light in Red Lodge! (8-11-14) Oh, it is so hard to let go of that Huey post.  I’ll have to live on the memory I guess!  Back to regular life…SIGH… OH NO!  A traffic light has been installed in Red Lodge!  The horror! Okay, it’s just temporary.  It’s been a road work nightmare all…

Huey! (8-10-14) It all started when Huey Lewis walked into the Northern Hotel bar.  Well, let me back up.  This really all started back in April when JR bought Blues Fest tickets for us for my birthday.  Thanks Honey!  So, Huey Lewis walked into a bar.  Not just any bar, but the bar I was…

One Year (Some Stats) 8/5/2014 I’ve been writing these goofy posts for a year now!  What fun!  Thanks to all who have visited and commented.  The comments absolutely make my day!  I’m always calling JR and telling him who commented and who said what.  We really enjoy that. Some stats for the past year: Unique…

Scarlett (7/2014) Technically, Scarlett is a “senior” dog.  She is eight by the calendar.  No one who meets her can possibly think this is the case.  After Timber passed last November, our vet bills decreased substantially.  Unfortunately, they are back on the rise. Scarlett was diagnosed with doggy Lupus about a year ago but we…
