Sunday, after work, Jeanne, Nancy and I went to E Glacier to spend the night at the Glacier dorm.
The next day we took a Red Bus, driven by Jammer Joe, to Waterton, Alberta Canada. We had High Tea at the Prince of Wales Hotel. What a beautiful place, as you will see in the photo's. It was an all day ride, coming and going, and we were able to see all the properties in Glacier. Jammer Joe made it very special for the three of us as he made several side trips to show us the sights.
It has been raining here the last few days and the high has been in the 40's. Going out to celebrate payday tonight and eat supper at a real restaurant.
Hope you all enjoy the pictures, more later

Been here almost a month and having a great time..Seen black bear and cub, plenty of Mule deer and been told a mountain lion is in vicinity. We have been exploring the surrounding little towns before the park opens. Going to the Sun Road opens up on June 18th, as they are still plowing away the snow. It has been cool and rainy here at Lake McDonald, and in the higher elevations- snow of course. Sending pictures of latest adventures on some of our outings. Took a boat ride on Lake McDonald with a few friends, and took pictures of Lodge from Lake. The Lake was 38 degrees. Also sending pictures of inside the Lodge and My Gift Shop.
Enjoy

Here I am in Glacier National Park and trying to get settled in my new home. Jody and Jeanne are here and we are all hoping for a great year. It was a long drive and right at this moment I am dreading the drive home-good thing I have 4 months not to think about it. Karen and I had a great trip out and we made some side trips as you will see in the photo's.
Lake McDonald is a beautiful clear lake, and oh, so smooth . I start work on Monday and it looks like we will be doing some overtime as our opening day is May 22. I am living in a condo cabin and I know all of you will be envious when you see the pictures, we are still trying to figure out if we were meant for bunk beds.
Cell phone use is sporadic and internet is nonexistent at this time.

Hello from Yellowstone
Finally back, having trouble with computer overloaded in the park. Have to get up at 5 a.m. just to get on the computer, which isn't fun.
I am just now enjoying hiking, as we had our last snow storm June 11, hopefully. So the trails are passable. Yesterday we took a 5 mile hike to the OTO Ranch. It is the first dude ranch in Montana, built in the late 1800 and deserted in the late 1930's. It is on the National Historical Register, and different groups are going in and helping to restore. It is in wonderful shape and what a beautiful hike.
The rivers are running high and what a wonderful sight the waterfalls are this year. Going to try and jam as much hiking in as I can, as I am heading home in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to seeing my family and can't wait to start quilting again.....
Hope you enjoy the pictures, sending quite a few this time around.

MOTHER'S DAY IN YELLOWSTONE
Seven of the Terrace Residence went out for a Mother's Day Brunch at Pine Creek Cafe, and a very enjoyable time by all (as you can tell by the picture). We then took our time riding home and sight seeing on the way. Early evening CarolAnne and I headed out to LaMarr Valley looking for the wild life. We spotted on our adventures a beaver playing on the bank of the Yellowstone River,
Bison and their red dogs(lots more this year than last), pronghorn, elk, deer, wolf with coyote in his wake and a Black Bear..What a wonderful gift to see all this in one day at the park...
Enjoy the pictures.......

Day in the Park
On May 2, 3 locations in the park open for the season, and we awoke to snow on the ground, again!!!
I worked the weekend, and I now have 2 days off in a row. So this morning Karen, Jessica and I decided to go exploring in the park. We couldn't get over the snow in the higher elevations. The roads are clear, but not all the side roads. Took some great pictures for all of you to enjoy. I'm heading to Chico tomorrow for a soak in the Hot Springs and hoping to stop at the Old Saloon for
breakfast.
I am sitting in my room watching the elk returning to our area, they have been in the lower elevations for the winter, and finally returning as they can now graze in Mammoth.
Just got word from my youngest son Jeff that he is now a Firefighter working for the Fuquay Varina Fire Department. Good job, Jeff.......
