Crazy Sunday

Wow, what a busy day.  you would think this is a vacation area or something.  Actually, only 2 of the 3 lodgings places are open.  The Old Faithful Inn opened on Friday.  That is the largest of the hotel facilities in the section of the park, bigger than the other 2 combined.

Geyser Grill, which I frequently call Geisinger Grill, is the only lunch place here.  And many of the tour buses stop here.  if they are on the ball, they place an order in advance.  so sometimes it's 40 cheeseburgers, 40 french fries and 40 fountain drinks.  We do the cheeseburgers in advance, but the french fries are a different story.  We really got caught short today and had folks waiting all over the place.  One lady, with a neat British accent, asked me why her order was not ready and people that came after her had theirs.  I told her that we like them better than her. She laughed, not expecting my smart aleck remark.  Thank goodness.

When I was out walking yesterday (Saturday) I saw a family where the mom was taking pictures of the family.  I asked if she wanted me to take a picture of all of them and she  agreed.  Later on on the walk way, we crossed paths again and she asked if I would like my picture taken. The attached picture is the results.

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...
