Mystic Falls Pictures

I'm actually at place with internet.  Good old West Yellowstone.  Now if the photos I want to post will actually appear....

When we went on a hike on Friday to see five geysers go off all on the same day.  My phone quit working part way through, but I still did get some good ones.  Also pictures from Mystic Falls the next day.

Neat rocks.  There are actually some marmots there, but you can't see them. On the way to Mystic Falls

When Rose and I went to Big Sky, it was to get her asthma medicine changed.  The new stuff is working well, much better than the previous drug.  On the way back home, we stopped at Quake Lake and the Lake that tilted.  Details are in a previous blog. These are some photos from that adventure. Quake Lake, in the background is the landslide that formed the lake.  It will eventually drain and return to a river.  It happened in 1959 so it will take awhile. Display at visitors center depicting the results of the earthquake Different angle Site of the landslide that blocked the canyon.  I told Rose it looked alot like some mountains around my home that have either been strip mined or logged off.

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...

Than's Knee

Basic information about Than and his injured his knee.  On Monday evening, Than stood up too quickly, (imagine that!) tripped over his feet and fell, managing to take out two rockers near him as he did dance moves to avoid falling, but alas, did fall.  Tuesday morning, Christmas Eve, he wakes up with a swollen knee causing too much pain to actually walk on it.  Ice, Tylenol, rest and no real relief but with the aid of a wheelchair left over from Steve, he could get around but not any stairs. Thursday, 12/26, he saw his primary care doctor who recommended orthopedic care.  Friday morning, Than saw the orthopedic physician assistant who drained 125ml of fluid from his knee, put him in a full leg restraint, ordered xray where the bone  looked fractured (maybe tibia plateau fracture?) but was proven wrong  by the CAT scan.  He will see the Orthopedist on Tuesday. Details to follow. As if today, Monday, he is able to get around with the walker, but it exhau...
