Last Friday when taking the ferry to Kingston to visit my daughter, son-inlaw and granddaughter, this view looking north was one of the more spectacular ones I saw this winter from the ferry.  That’s Mount Adams on the horizon.

Kiki’s Obsession

Neil February 2nd, 2009

I picked up a flavored chew bone for Kiki this morning.  She has spent the last 3 hours roaming the house trying to find the perfect spot to bury it.  She finds one spot and leaves it there for 10 minutes and then picks it up again and carries it around for another half hour and deposits it in another spot.  She has yet to find the perfect spot.

Here we go again!

We all enjoyed our time together in Cut Bank, MT. visiting with Alfred Olsen; Linda, Jane and Carol’s father.  We spent the day Friday driving over Logan Pass and taking several short hikes to see the amazing mountains, glaciers, lakes, rivers and creeks in Glacier National Park.
