The End of our Journey

Well I got me a new job. I figured I was just as qualified as the next Gnome.
This was a shirt given to my man from his friends Jan and Wayne when they went on their trip.


Well this is our last day on the road, so I thought I would get into some mischief while my owners were loading the car. I found this saddle horse and it even had a real saddle on it. No I did not play with the rope. It was all like that when I sat down.


Look at this lovely piano, I tried to open it so I could play some merry music but the dam thing was locked.
Sorry no tunes today



Just Chilling


Well my lady asked my man to take a picture of us in front of the fireplace, wow he really got this picture lopsided didn't he.





Peek a boo can you see me, I want food.....





Me and my Lady in front of the motel in Billings Montana. Look at all the rocks, neat eh!






OH MAN - back into my seat I go. I was free for a while though









My Lady found this covered wagon when we stopped for lunch. She told my man that we had to take a picture.
There was no horses, what a rip





Me on the water barrel











Me and My Lady posing in front of the wagon...
It's all about me....right.











Windmills and the mountains with snow on the top of them
Yuck!!!










We waited 2 hours at the boarder, my first trip to Canada, I hope I can get in I don't have a pass port...











Wow these Canadian animals are really big
















Can you see me?










Look closely down by his toes..

My Lady is standing guard making sure I don't get stepped on...



















Motorcycle shopping, can't find the clothes to fit me though...















Yep it is me...

a rainy day & What is a Jackalope?

Most of today was rainy and overcast. We traveled to Billings Montana from
Cheyenne Wyoming. It was a long ride through Wyoming as there was nothing to see...but we did stop in Douglas so our Gnome could meet a Jackalope...


I noticed a lot of these outlines on the rocks. As you get closer you can see that they are wood cutouts, fun to see from a distance.


Meet a Western Jackalope....
The story goes....the first white man to see this singular fauna specimen was a trapper name George McLean in 1829. When he told of it later he was promptly denouced as a liar. An odd trait of the Jackalope is its ability to imitate the human voice. Cowboys singing to their herds at night have been startled to hear their lonesome melodies repeated faithfully from some nearby hillside. the phantom echo comes from the throat of some Jackalope. They sing only on dark nights before a thunderstorm. Stories that they sometimes get together and sing in chorus are discounted by those who know them best. Much like the stories of Sasquatch sightings, legends of the ever elusive Jackalope continue to haunt Western lore even in modern times. The young lady who was working at the gas startion told us her granddaddy told her about these strange bunnies and she believed for a long time....
Our little Gnome almost disappeared under neath the bunnie



Douglas Wyoming, Gnome reads the plaque




See it is a bunnie with antlers

















on the hills leaving town










Yep I've been there






Just add this name to my list....








Hontestly I am not looking









My hubby was complaining because to this point in our trip he had not seen a buffalo, allegator or snake on the road. The next thing I know he has stopped the car and is backing up. Sure enough there is a snake on the road. So he took a couple of pics then turned around so I could take one. He didn't know if it was alive or not. When we turned around and I was taking this pic (from the safety of the car out the window) I noticed that his tongue was moving. It had a rattler at the end of his tail and he was sunning himself in the middle of the road.





Yep he is alive












When I went to get out of the car the reciepts blew across the dash and out the window. I chased them across the parking lot. We were in the National Park and you don't litter.












Now I guess you are wondering what this is..
we were driving along yesterday and it was sunny and hot (we had to run the air) anyway I noticed these sparkles on the ceiling of the car..it took a little while to figure out what or where they were coming from...can you guess?













Just swinging around I had the Gnome in my arms in a plastic bag....

The Grandbabies

On Sunday April 27th we spent the day with our children and granbabies.

I think Mathew is getting taller than his dad.
Beware Mathew now has his G1. Yes it is hard to believe he is 17 already....


Poppa and his Laila. She is such a sweetie. Growing way to fast. Talks up a storm and is a busy girl all day long.



I love this picture of Poppa and Justin. He looks likes he is really listening to his Poppa.





Our future Tiger Williams. Is she going to be a golf pro, or a wack and thump like her grandpa's.




Stephanie teaching Laila how to petal. Finally after numerous attempts Laila got the pedals to go forward a couple of times. Yea for Laila....




Yes the couch is outside, but that is because they got a new living room set. We were trying to get Justin to look forward and Laila grabs his head and makes him look at the camera. Stephanie was laughing and having a hard time taking the picture. but it turned out great as all of us have a smile on.....





Daddy with is little girl....


Curtis and Sanda's wedding

Well our friend Curtis did it, he found himself the most wonderful lady. They both adore each other and are so in love.. We are so happy for them after the rough 4 years they had leading up to this special day......
