On Monday, we went to spend a little time with my brother, Larry. We were lucky to get to see his daughter,Diana, whom I hadn't seen since 1990! She lives in California and had brought her daughter and niece with her. They are working on packing Larry and Sue to move them to California to be nearer her and two of her brothers. The one in the picture with me is Tricia, sort of named after me. That was special to finally meet her! We will miss having Larry in Wyoming, but he and his wife do need to be nearer their children.

We have arrived safely in Billings. Billings hasn't been so safe and so we are kind of glad that we didn't arrive any sooner. A funnel cloud touched down and did a tremendous amount of damage in the Heights of Billings. It did lots of raining here on the end of town where my family live, but no hail nor tornadoes. Here are some pictures of the water around. All for tonight so that I can get up early in the morning to take our trailer into the RV Service center.

Albany gave us a promise if we should return.....










Pixie caught "one of the few sun rays" in Albany!










We are on the road again!
Heading for Montana/Wyoming at this time. First stop Billings and then on to Cody for Convention. My wonderful sister-in-law agreed to take care of Pixie while we are at convention, so we know that Pixie will be well taken care of. Our first night in Montana offered us a beautiful sunset and I tried to capture it, but the picture doesn't do it justice.

6 years ago several of us went to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, but the festival was over and the tulips were past their prime, so after seeing Dorene's picture out in the flowers, I decided that it was time to go again and see it in it's prime. Well, we certainly were not disappointed. If you would like to see lots of flowers go HERE It rained a good deal of the time that we were travelling, but we had a wonderful Mexican lunch and the rain went away as we ate. Enjoy our day with us!

We left on Tuesday to head down to Klamath Falls, OR to visit Justin while he was doing his Guard duty. We had a wonderful time and the weather was so beautiful. I loved our parking spot because we had lots of light that shown in from every direction! The only problem was on the way, we were just about 6 miles,(about 85 miles from home), past Oakridge when the "check engine" light came on! Trouble! when pulling a 5th wheel or for that matter, any time. I thought that Dave just slowed way down, but instead we had no power! Lovely, I sometimes think that we will have to quit travelling with the trailer! Ha! Anyway, we finally came to a spot where we could turn around and headed back into Oakridge. It is a small place but there was a Napa store there so we were sure they would have the machine to check the code, but of course, not! We called a couple of dealerships and decided to go back to Eugene (about 35 miles), but decided to have a bit of lunch. Well we stopped and then went on our way and the truck ran just fine! Found it to be a fuel filter was needed. $200 later and we were back on our way to K Falls. We should have been there by 5:00 but finally made it by 9:30. It was travelling in the higher altitudes, in forested areas so was a nice change from our low lands. I got a few pictures for you to enjoy, but didn't get as many as I would have liked, but you can see that we passed many lakes and saw lots of forest. Next time, I hope we can relax and just enjoy the beauty of God's creation.

We made sure that we got home in time to go to a shower for our dear little friend Leah who will be getting married the first part of June.

Wow! what a fun day! The girls did not know how hard this project was going to be, but they all made it to the end and each went home with a card. We had lots of fun as they all created! Lots of goodies to eat, also!

I can't believe that it is the 8th of March already! Only yesterday it was January! I had to change my background because I found this pretty background and the name of it is Tiana! Of course, I had to have it! She is one special girl in my life.
