Days 2 and 3
Well my laptop has decided to go on vacation too it seems. Thanks to Russ I was able to get connected to wifi but it never wanted to stop "loading" and get down to business! So I am once again resorting to my beloved Kindle which will make these blogs shorter than I wanted them to be. You however may be happy about that.
I am totally in awe about this beautiful country of ours. I understand why Montana is called "Big Sky" country. I'm sure they somehow managed to steal sky from other States because it's too incredible otherwise. The mountains are dramatic and the river's are blue blue. Blue. We drove through Montana and on to Wyoming. Ok ... I think it took Montana's place in my heart as far as beauty goes. They have pink roads! Well its actually a rose colored stone, but Sandi and loved it. There is a whole new palate of green in the mountains there. I kept taking pictures in hopes that some will show that. Now all was not wonderful...it was hotter than hell. Yesterday morning we drove to Buffalo for brunch and it was 97 at 11am. We loved the town though and had a great meal in a really great gift shop/restaurant. What a wonderful surprise. When we drove on, we passed a lot of gorgeous ranch land. In one field we saw a very handsome bull gazing longingly at another field which held many beautiful cows. I found myself remembering that old Bobby Vinton song "I'm just a lonely boy" only changing some words..."I'm just a lonely bull, lonely and blue, standing alone looking at you". Sandi and I have laughed so much on this trip. I'm loving it and having the time of my life. Its sort of a start to a new me I think, and it's thrilling. I'm going to stop now and tonight I'll let you know about South Dakota and the wonders we've seen. Take care!

I am so glad you girls are having such a wonderful time. I'll bet, if you asked her really nicely, Sandi would let you use her laptop to do your blog posts. That way you can add some wonderful photos, too. :)
