Another one bites the dust

Well, I went through another roommate.  A woman named Francis (who I kept calling Phyllis--hmm I wonder if that had anything to do it) was my roommate for 1 day.  She moved to a different room that had a window bed available.  Nothing to do with me, she assured me.  But it does make me wonder......Oh well.

I still can't get photos to my computer.  It is so frustrating, especially since this has happened before.  One of the guys from the rec room/lounge who considers himself a computer guru tried, and failed.  He said I need something special that he will pick up when he goes to West Yellowstone, a town about 45 miles from here.  He doesn't have a day off for a few days, so don't expect any photos soon.  Sometimes I think these wonderful devices just don't like my aura.  How's that for a shot in the dark???

I did have a funny guy at the Geyser Grill today.  He asked me if the coffee refills are free.  When I said sure, he then asked for 2 refills.  Shades of my dad.  It did make me laugh.

I also had a touching experience.  A young guy in his 20's or so is at my register.  I noticed his bracelet and it looked like a POW bracelet that many of us wore during the VietNam War.  He said it was.  It was his Grandfather's name on the bracelet, who unfortunately didn't survive.  He was surprised that I knew what it was and was pleased that I, too, had worn one.  FYI-my guy made it out. 

There is a full moon hike on Friday night.  I still haven't signed up, but plan to tomorrow (Wednesday) As I understand it, we take a bus to somewhere and hike around in the full moon.  Many of my SHARE friends will we watching the same full moon while at the festival.  My heart will be with you all.

    If you are taking pictures with your phone try emailing the pictures to yourself otherwise, be aware that I have uploaded dozens of pictures that seem to disappear after a period of time. Your frustration has been shared.

    On another topic . . . reading of your adventures reminds me of my own while riding alone and later, with Chuck.

    Thirdly . . . another reminder occurs when I am told that someone's grandfather was in Vietnam.

Finally, Wifi

Just regular bison photos that I can't get to the bottom of this blog.  More further down with the story that makes sense. I'm sitting in a McDonalds in West Yellowstone, Montana, because they have Wifi.  Yeah.  There is still no Wifi at the park.  it was suppose to be fixed over the weekend, but it's not.  Probably when I get back, it will be, but it is nice to get away from  Old Faithful and all the tourist, not to mention the log pine trees.  If I never see another pine tree, it will be ok because that is all I see here. Rose, my roomie, and I went to Mammoth Springs on Friday.  What a great day.  I was anxious to see some Red Dogs, the nickname for baby bison.  We did manage to see them in stages.  At one point, we were tied up in traffic for over 90 minutes because of a Bison jam.  We were told about 300 crossed the road.  That wasn't bad enough, so then a few of them decided to take a n...

Snowy Tuesday

I think that I eliminated a previous post about a Snowy Sunday-where I complained that there was snow on the ground.  Now there is another snow storm, this time leaving about 3".  It doesn't last long, but it's still here.  The temperature was in the single digits the other night. I did have a funny incident today.  Early this morning, I didn't hear my alarm, so my roomie had to wake me.  She was cool about it, actually thought it was funny.  later on in the day, I came home from work and flopped on my bed.  Patrice, my roomie, was taking a shower and an alarm started going off.  I assumed it was her alarm and when she got out of the shower, she would respond to it.  I just pulled my hearing aids and continued to lay around.  She comes out of the bathroom and tells me it is not her alarm, but a fire alarm, only a drill, but we still have to respond to it.  So much for ignoring alarms. Work is still going well.  I was in the...

Art, just mostly my art.

I am trying to be very funny with giving myself the artist title.  I am enjoying this new-found interest of watercolor painting.  I will never be great, but who cares?  I am and will be satisfied with my results.  So there!! lol. We are in week 5 of 6 in watercolor class.  I have learned so much between Jane, who is a wonderful instructor, more like a guiding spirit, and YouTube, that has tons and tons of information.  Knowing how I can get involved in something and leave everything else behind, I force myself to shine my kitchen sink, aka straighten up the kitchen, before I sit and watch and paint.  Not a bad life, I'll tell you. Enjoy the  refrigerator art.  Thanks.... This is one study we did in class, applying some new techniques Just pictures.  The one with the moon is salt added to the wet paint for the sky to give it a neat look Cute snow creature with practice pad colors on the edge I was just messing around...
