We're back!

I literally hit the ground running when we got back into town Monday. We traveled two 13 hour days of driving to get here from Indiana, but when it was all said and done, we were glad we just got 'er done so we could get settled in as quickly as possible.

We took the high road, coming back via Minnesota and North Dakota for a change. A smart move since there were tornadoes south of us, leaving us to just deal with the violent rain storm. Interesting experience, though, when we came to Circle, Montana and stopped for gas. When I came out of the restroom, there was the station owner pumping our gas and washing our windows!  I felt like I had stepped back into the 60's and told him I hadn't seen that happen in many years.  He acted like that was to be expected by anyone anywhere. Where had I come from to expect anything less.  Great!

By 2:00 pm the next day I was on the bus back eastward to Billings to see the musical "Mama Mia" with my sisters. I'd rather drive in the car all day then spend three hours each way on a hot,crowded bus and getting home at 1:00 am any day. But the performance made it all worth the while. Can't get those tunes out of my head ever since, though.  Pretty catchy.

Today, was getting back to business at hand, meeting with some of the ROWL committee to keep things moving ahead. Great being with a bunch of fellow recycling fanatics. We don't bore each other, anyway.
