Yep, back from Montana, and Cousin Jay wants to know why there's no REPORT. So here's a pic of my mother's siblings -- the 6 remaining of the original 13. Ray, Delores, Joe, Betty, Mary and Dolle.
(The first time I tried to post this pic, it went to the bottom of the page -- so scroll way down for a larger image.)

Hey! I'm road-weary even with all the naps and overnighters listed below!

Tuesday: drove to Superior, MT via Colfax, Spokane, and 4th of July Pass and stayed that night at Aunt Betty's/Uncle Dick's.

Wednesday: Reunion & drove Aunt Mary home to Deer Lodge -- stayed overnight.

Thursday: Followed Hwy 12 toward home -- over Lolo Pass -- motel at Clarkston.

Friday: Hwy 12 plus side trip to Palouse Falls, and home about noon. As I said, ROAD WEARY/ WOOZY. Since then, lots of big naps and took Sabbath off.

Blogger goal for today: Post more photos & trip details -- in the process, hopefully to learn more of this blogging craft. Stay tuned.

To Montana

When Silky Lab sees me packing her dishes & a bag of dogfood into the Windstar, she starts sticking pretty close. And when she hears that last "zing" of a luggage zipper, she's ready to load up. We're off to a Montana family reunion in a few, and she expects to be right in the middle of things.
