Life Goes On

Life goes on....regardless of what tradegies, comedies, or dramas going on in our personal lives ....LIFE goes on.

Just checking in to say hello. Hope you are having a wonderful fall! No big stories to report... just some everyday angels to thank. Thank you to everyone who helped me move! I'm so blessed to have such great friends & family! Mom, you rock! Thank you to everyone who helped paint, pack, move, hook up appliances, engineer & just encourage!

THANK YOU to everyone who made my birthday so special! Emails, cards, hugs, presents, surprises, and every well wish I received was much appreciated! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My cup runneth over!!! A special thank you to my Aunt Nancy & the Carpenter family for my wonderful birthday dinner!

All settled in from the big move and just in time to make a trip to one of my very favorite lil' towns, Dillon, Montana for the UM- Western college rodeo! Congratulations to Olie Else & her team for pulling off a great weekend. How that amazing woman does it all....I will never know! Thank You to Olie for making my weekend wonderful! Love ya :)

After the rodeo, I decided to take the scenic route home thru Horse Prairie and over the pass. Well, for the record...In case, you are unfamiliar with Idaho Passes...There are 2 in Horse Prairie.....If headed to Hamer...LEMHI Pass is not your best option. It is however, the paths that Lewis & Clark took...but It is in no way the path of least resistance....just sayin!

Here is a few pictures just playing around at the rodeo:
