I have been wanting to post, but it seems like there is always something else that gets in the way. I am now waiting for a call from a granddaughter who is driving from Vancouver, WA, back to Bozeman, MT to school at MSU-Bozeman. I called at 7 p.m. and she was almost to Butte. I keep praying for God to have his arms around her.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Miles City with Cowboy's son and his wife, Barry and Jolene. It was nice to go somewhere, take a salad and cranberries, the camera, and just us. I didn't even have to clean our house.
Here is Miss Javon getting her "pony" put back in her hair by Grandma Loretta. She doesn't sit still very long and such a live wire with lots of smiles!
Jentry was working at going on over. She is very agile. The girls wanted to strut their stuff and show off for the grandparents!
Cowboy and I are so thankful for God, each other, our health, our families, our way of life here in rural Montana. We are thankful for our freedom by those young men and and women who putting their lives on the line for America. Cowboy says he is thankful for a warm house, plenty to eat, pets, good horses to ride, good equipment. Pickups that run without having to work on them every morning! Also, the blessing of friends.
When I was growing up,we usually went to my Aunt & Uncle's ranch out of Broadus for Thanksgiving and they came to Miles City for Christmas. I remember skating the 100 miles on very icy roads! My cousin Rachel is now staying in Miles City with my Aunt Belva and they had Thanksgiving dinner too. Since Barry and Jolene had asked us first, we went there. But Cowboy and Jentry, our dog Amy, and I walked the two blocks to stop in to say hello to family we haven't seen for some time. (Rachel and Ed's two sons).
Rick and Mark. It is terrible to take pictures of people eating...but I did it anyway.
My sweet Aunt Belva and her grandson, Loren on the right.
I have nothing but admiration for Rachel as she has been staying with my aunt for a couple of years now. We did a short bit of reminiscencing...
I took more pictures there, but I wanted to get pictures of Rachel's boys! They are grown, but you know how we are, they will always be boys!
I am also posting some pictures of deer. I took them from the sliding glass door upstairs from the dining room. And you wonder why I am jumping up and down during the summer months when they are in here eating my flowers. They weren't very afraid of me! They eat any scrap that might have fallen off of the pickup that was meant for the cows!
I told Bill I love to look at them and they are beautiful, but they are so destructive. Of course, I don't think I could shoot one, I just talk BIG when they eat my flowers...
Not just one buck, but three!!
I am sewing when I get a minute, but I haven't taken the pictures yet!
Cookie Day is coming. I am reading posts of some who are dreading it. Drat!
