  • Big Sky Vacation Day 6: E-I-E-I-O

    Special thanks to my photographer for most of the day:  Joe “Don’t Care” Zurek Is it Day 6 already?  We’ve been having a great time and the time has been flying by.  Everyone must have been tired from the hike yesterday.  We all slept in a bit, even Alex.  We must have needed the sleep […]

  • Big Sky Vacation Day 5: What a hike!

    This is our second day in the park.  We started off the day with breakfast.  I fixed sausage gravy and biscuits.  We only had a few eggs in the house, so it was limited to the Zane and Owen.  Zerah put together our lunch choices for the day.  We then cleaned up the kitchen and […]

  • Big Sky Vacation Day 4: Adventures with Rams

    This is our first day for hiking in the park.  First, we had to start out with a good breakfast.  Zerah, Alex, and I cooked up bacon, sausage, and eggs with toast.  I tell you, Owen can really eat for a 2 year old!  He had several pieces of sausages with his egg and toast.  […]

  • Big Sky Vacation Day 3: We’re here!

    Day 3 dawned bright and sunny.  This was our day to drive into East Glacier Park where we are staying.  We had a 7 hour drive ahead of us.  We grabbed breakfast at the hotel and headed out.  But first, we needed to stop for gas, coffee, and water.  I pumped gas into the car […]

  • Big Sky Vacation Day 2: Bears don’t need cell coverage

    Second leg of our journey began early today.  We got moving around 6:00 so we could be on the road by 7:30.  Sounds early, but we had some big plans for the day.  The road was still pretty open with little traffic.  In South Dakota, the speed limit is 75.  This suits me fine.  I […]

  • Big Sky Vacation Day 1: Through the land of cheese haus

    Luckily, the alarm went off this morning. Otherwise, I would have slept through the time to leave.  Sascha finished the job by demanding to go out and look for squirrels.  I got moving and took my shower.  From there, it was time to finish packing.  Rich got moving, too.  Wow, even Rick got up.  Just […]

  • Two lane blacktop (and more)

    On Tuesday morning, I received a call that the paving company would be here at noon on Wednesday to tear up the old driveway and put down a new one. Oh My Gosh! The old driveway was in bad shape where it was cracked and the bed had fallen down. We had water draining into […]

  • Rescue for Little Bunny Foo-Foo

    his afternoon, Rick and I were in the basement. I walked over to the window well to make sure there was nothing hanging out there. I was startled to see two little eyes and a bundle of fur. Somehow, a very young bunny had fallen into the window well and was lying there quietly. At […]
