Today is our sister-in-law Janet’s birthday and we wish her every happiness in the world.   She and Dora’s brother Tom became grandparents again in March and I am sure they continue to enjoy being grandparents.  And, their good health.  And, the all of their family and friends.  Wish we could be there to bake [...]

One of my most prized possessions is this bird house made by Uncle Roger to raise money for “Relay for Life”!

We had a great day in the Park yesterday!  We found “Pig Pen” near Grizzly Lake trail.  He’s really getting into his work in that big hole he dug looking for lunch!

Twenty-five (25) miles east of Glacier National Park, a grizzly, or grizzlies, has killed seven (7) yearling cattle (probably about 700 pounds each) this past week.  And, then we heard that a study is going to be done on the grizzly bear population between Meteetsee and Thermopolis, Wyoming which is south and east of Yellowstone [...]
