I had written on the fridge white board “Dinner: Hot Tuna Buns.” LOL As a reminder, years and years ago I had found a recipe for Hot Tuna Buns. I thought perhaps it would be like a tuna melt and I thought it sounded good. When Kevin asked what was for dinner that night back... Continue Reading →
An Added Note To You, Quilting, Food, & Sedona, AZ
I sewed a 55-inch table topper quilt for the fall. You know, in HOWE (footnote 1) our dining table isn’t that big! HAHA This was a kit that I got while shopping with my friend, Bridget, in Spearfish, SD. I rarely make quilts from kits but this one caught my eye. It will be a... Continue Reading →
We’ll Be Back!!!
Travel Day Apple Valley, UT, to Cottonwood, AZ. We set the alarm for 7:00 a.m. but it was still dark outside. So we slept 1/2 hour more and it was at least light out. We headed out just before 8:00 a.m. and were glad we didn’t leave any earlier as the sun was straight in... Continue Reading →
Being Flexible, Southern Utah
Time to be flexible!!!! There was a huge tropical storm in the pacific that dumped a ton of rain on the southwest. Lots of flooding. We had been watching it and the amount of rain. Why? Because we had planned to boondock at Goosenecks State Park in southern Utah right above the Colorado River. The... Continue Reading →

Wind, Packages, Missouri River Headwaters, & Bozeman, Montana
We headed on I-90 West for this Travel Day from Garryowen, MT to Manhattan, MT, near Bozeman. The landscape was very dry; we don’t know if it is always that way or just the end of summer. Even the grazing grass was dry. In Hartley, MT we started getting into much bigger ups and downs... Continue Reading →
Custer’s Last Stand & My Funny Mistake, Montana
On our Travel Day to Garryowen, Montana, I read out loud to Kevin the book I am reading, “The Summer of 1876” by Chris Wimmer. Excellent book! The cool thing is, right where I was in the book it is talking about the details of the battle at Little Bighorn. Kevin said “WE ARE DRIVING... Continue Reading →
Devils Tower, Wyoming, & South Dakota
Travel Day from North Dakota to Sundance, Wyoming. The drive was nice and mostly along a state highway. We started seeing some mini mountains. The fields are grass, not farmed, and we did see some cows grazing. We passed a sign for the turn off to the center of the country. The center of the... Continue Reading →
Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Part 2
Kevin and I, along with our friends Richard & Bridget, went sunset-chasing, again, in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This time we had plenty of time and enjoyed watching from our camp chairs. (See last post for how we barely caught a sunset.) Chateau De Mores State Historic Site, Medora, ND, is just a few miles... Continue Reading →
