Big Sky Country Part 1

Happy Memorial Day weekend! We appreciate all who gave the ultimate sacrifice and their families who lost their loved ones!! 

We left Wyoming and all its beauty to come to Montana and see all its beauty! I know why they call it "Big Sky Country" the sky goes on forever. God is so amazing! Here is the last picture of Wyoming for 2021.


Montana is a fickle state with weather, that is for sure. Although this year, weather has been crazy all over America! We have had some beautiful days and then days of rain and even a little bit of hail. We are currently staying at Bear Canyon Campground it is truly beautiful!




"From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised." Psalm 113:3 (NASB)


Tuesday, Hubby and I went to the American Computer and Robotics Museum. It was incredible to see how much progress has happened just over the past 30 years. We are currently watching Big Bang Theory at night and some of it I don't understand but going to that museum cleared up some things. I didn't know that computers only understand 0's and 1's and how binary worked. So, I had to take a picture of the binary code. I think I might try to learn the alphabet. 



Thursday, we went to Montana Grizzly Bear Encounter and saw a 7-year-old brown bear named Bella. She was so much fun to watch, and she was rescued as a young cub from Alaska. The Encounter currently has 4 bears, Stella is the oldest at age 34, Max is the youngest at age 2. Maggie was recused from being kept in a small cage and was in bad shape when she was brought to them, as well as Stella. They do a "bear talk" and share with you what to do and what not to do if you are hiking and encounter a bear. Was a neat place to go and learn.




Friday, we went to Museum of the Rockies and saw a lot of dinosaur bones and saw a video in the Planetarian about the twin Voyager satellites that took amazing pictures of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It was a crazy voyage, that started in 1977 and finally reached Neptune in 1989. We then took a drive to Butte and ate at the Pekin Noodle Parlor, the oldest continuously operating Chinese restaurant in America, opening its doors for food in 1911. You would think that would be in San Francisco or New York City, nope, it's here in Butte. It was recommended from the Road Trip book. I am SO enjoying this book, thank you, Fonda! I can't wait for Idaho, 7 restaurants in Coeur d’Alene are in the book.





We had a relaxing day on Saturday, did some hiking and just enjoyed Montana. I am glad that we are here for 2 weeks! More next Sunday!


If there is something special you would like me to take a picture of, please let me know!

    So glad to hear that the Pekin Noodle Parlor was worth the trip. Now I want Chinese!

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
