Stormy Thursday

Another day off where I didn't do much.  The nice weather was on and off all day.  It was rather windy, sometimes cloudy and now in the evening it is really storming.  Folks who have been here awhile say that the caldera has a unique effect on the storms.  There is some hail mixed in with the rain so everyone says a cold front is moving in, too. And not to be surprised if we wake up to snow tomorrow. It better not.  I'm rejoicing in the nice weather, finally.

Rose and I did make it to the Art and Photography Center.  It has a nice little gallery of various artist depicting scenes from all around Yellowstone.  There are art lessons of various types, water color this month.  I don't know if it changes monthly or when, but there is something always happening as far as art and photography.  I'm planning to take advantage of it soon.  Details to follow.

I also learned there is a difference between bison and buffalo.  We do not have buffalo here, only bison.  Buffalo are from Asia and Africa, not North America.  So there it is.

Than tells me that they are finally ripping up our yard. I am so glad I'm not there.  Just the thought of it was making me crazy, but it had to be done, so I'm told.

Work is fine.  One of the guys told me an Asian woman wanted cheese on her French Vanilla Cappuccino.  We're guessing she had some of her English mixed up.  Maybe whipped cream? or Milk?
Funny how language can be so easily confused.

No pictures today.  Sorry.

    Your words paint a beautiful picture of Yellowstone. Sorry about the weather here it's going to be absolutely beautiful today. But maybe I shouldn't tell you that.

Still more art

gorgeous sunset taken by Flora who especially liked the juxtaposition of the Amish hay mounds and the electric wires.    This blog starts off with a picture just to get your attention. Flora was quick on the camera button, once again. I'm having issues thinking of different names for the blog title. I seem to be in a rut. but then again, perhaps I am. The art classes are great.  As much as I enjoyed watercolor at Yellowstone. it was only a tiny taste of how satisfying it is.  Joan and I are both surprised and quite pleased with the results we have. We both feel like we discovered something important to us, to our souls, or our spirits.  Anyway, all the pictures are mine, but you get to meet Joan and Jane and a glimpse of Susan. I have some descriptions on each one to let you get the feel of it.  I wish I could explain the  joy painting these pictures gives me.  I had no idea I could actually do something like this, but then again -- it is...

Bozeman

Clara and I met up with Julie, friend from Bozeman who took us on a tour of the town, lunch at a neat restaurant, the Naked Noodle, and then the Museum.  MOR--Museum of the Rockies, they have a spectacular dinosaur collection and lots more.  a nice laid back day with Clara and Julie.  Two more days before I head to Yellowstone.  I vacillate between anxiety and anticipation.  Sometimes at the same time.

Saturday Night Radio

I know listening to the radio Saturday night doesn't sound like a barrel of monkeys, but it truly is a relaxing way to spend the evening. Especially since I was radio deprived in Yellowstone aka YNP.  Way back in the day, 1990's I started listening to Saturday night PBS radio shows while Than did the race track announcer at Greenwood Action Track.  The newest show, Live from here  isn't as good as  Prairie Home Companion,  but I may just be reluctant to change.  The music is really good. The comedy is amusing, sometimes roaring funny. I dropped my phone in the toilet bowl the other day.  I didn't even realize that I had lost it.  Than comes out of the bathroom asking why my phone is in the toilet. I have lost almost all the the phone numbers I had. How annoying.  I did get a new phone, so another phone to learn. Will it ever end. Please call me to find out if I lost your number.  I probably did.  Whoever is reading this, plea...
