.. and a Meowy Christmas to all!

The Claws couple liked to play Santa for the neighborhood get-together. Nobody thought they carried it off very well ..except for the Tucker family's pet bird .. it wasn't known to be the brightest bird on the branch! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Old Church..

This is the old Hellgate Chapel that was moved to Fort Missoula... a simple log cabin...

Big Sky Sunset

I took this picture on the trip home from Simms. It was in the Ovando area...

GG and the Little Boy

... and we read a book about farm animals...

Many thanks to Dottie for watching out for the mama! .. don't know who 'FAITH' was but didn't care for it's looks!

Morning Sky

Oh Beautiful, for spacious skies...

Checkin' on my Chickie..

Hilda was likely to check on Chickie at least once a week ... she was always prepared for the event of not finding her by carrying a replacement egg.. some folks found this practice uncaring, but after all she was just a brown hen.. and rather a vain one, at that!

Peekin' in....

..just a little peek to see how everything's going ... and sending speedy recovery wishes to our DOTTIE!

Happy Day!

Happy! Happy!
Sam & Irma want to wish everybody a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! .. if you think you fit in this catergory 'Congratulations! ' Sam took to wearing a swimming cap as an aid in smoothing out his curly hairs... seems to have worked for Irma....? .. a pleasant enough couple although somewhat ODD.. she was famous for her 'home-baked brownies'! ((I think her secret was 'Duncan Hines'.. truly a housewife's best friend. ) Happy Anniversary to the Rowleys & the Heiners!

A SCARY TALE!

Horace wasn't usually a scaredy-cat... except when it came to black widows with big feet. Sad to say Millie was his only friend. Most folks were put off by his strange hair-do. .. that and his habit of 'under-dressing' .. thankfully he seldom left home.. Millie saw to that! Watch for him on Hallow's Eve as he has a real yen for Tootsie Rolls! WHOO-OO-OO....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Wishing all of my little

SPOOKS

a

FUN

HALLOWEEN!

Regal Roscoe

After kicking that nasty

NICOTINE habit,

Roscoe became hopelessly

addicted to

LONG-STEMMED

Cherries. He was

quite the 'looker'!

Truly a GREAT place!

Chief Clover Bowl

Well-known local

celebrity

for which a valley

landmark is named.

It is a popular place for

dropping off folks

attending functions at the

University.

It is full of

clover.

Mildred on Friday

Mildred always
did her make-up
before going out.
She curled her hairs every

Tuesday.

Her personality was so-so.

Receipt From Gram...

Larry Liked Green

'Larry Liked
to Wear Green'.

He was a husky fellow
but kind-hearted.

Some folks may say this gram has too much time on her hands...
what do they know??

Man Wearing Turban

..mayhaps an old relation? I'm guessing just a figment of my imagination...

Breakfast in the Rockies..

We spent the 4th up at Seeley and had beautiful weather. Dale was able to cook breakfast outside both mornings. Judi & Ken drove up and spent the day with us... it was a good HOLIDAY!

.. re-thinking...

..after further research, I may have changed my mind. ..not quit as tempting out of it's

cozy shell...

in

JoJo's words ..

'Yecch!'

missing...

Has anyone seen this person? She was last seen making a run for it with the young child clasped tightly in her arms. This occured in the past month.
She is reported to be suffering from
'Empty Nest Syndrome'...

cutest cousins!

..these two babies were so cute together.. Kadence thought Rogan was just there for her entertainment! ... I can't wait until they're both about a year old.. hopefully they'll have more get-togethers..

..diet plan...

Try this method if you have a weight problem. ..you should always use the 'sanitized tapeworms', freshly packed in a jar. You'll always maintain your girlish figure if you let the 'worms' do their magic!

Happy Birthday Little Girl...
