Another Bear

In all the excitement about the bear this morning I forgot about the bear I saw on the way home last night.  This little guy was in the ditch right by the road as I was coming home from the airport.

Spent today catching up—cleaning our house and Joe and Tammy’s house.  Laundry, bathed Emmi and gave her a haircut—Michael thinks I cut her “pants” too short but her hair is so fine it reaches out and grabs pieces of grass and dirt.  She is constantly grubby so I cut her leg fur a little too short or so Michael thinks! 

Michael went over to Boo and Terry’s today and tore down a shed for them.  Terry wants to build a garage/workshop. 

These are my special friends from our Kimberly-Clark days.  From the left: Linda, lives in Arizona but is a native Montanan and was responsible for my getting that great job with KC, Elaine who now lives in Florida, Shirley, the bride, me and Kelly who lives in Kansas City.  Our friendship is a strong, loving one that we make work in spite of the fact we all live so far apart.  It was a great weekend and I loved being a part of Willie and Shirley’s celebration.  Willie and Shirley have four children and a host of fantastic grandchildren—it was a pleasure getting to know them, too.

Willie and Shirley in the limo on the way to the party—their children arranged to have a limo pick up their parents and the four of us—there was also room for the youngest two grandchildren.  Once the limo driver delivered us to the hall, he took all the teenagers for a ride to Dairy Queen. 50 years!  There were close to 400 people at this celebration, a reception, a grand march which was something totally new to me, a dance and then dinner—what a party!
