Dog Interrupted


I have a confession to make. I don't eat fast food if I can help it. But sometimes I can't help it. So my confession is that lately I can't help eating fast food. In the early morning hour, on our way to our fishing hole, we'll sneak in line at a McDonalds or Hardees drive thru to grab a quick breakfast sandwich.

Yum. I pull my ball cap down over my sun glasses, slouch down in my seat, and eat the sausage, cheese, and egg breakfast grilled cheese sandwich.

And then I brush the crumbs off my clothes, sit straighter in my seat, turn to look at Steve and announce for the umteenth time that's the last fast food sandwich I'm going to eat.

Steve rolls his eyes.

Anyhow, the other day, while waiting in that fast food line, we observed this dog and laughed. Was somebody busy playing in the yard when Cowboy announced, "Ya'll get in the truck now." 


Black dog seemed more interested in what was coming out of the window. 

Reminds me of someone I know well.




I see you fast food lady.

He Is Risen! Happy Easter!





Happy Easter to my family miles away and to all of my friends, near and far! Have a blessed day celebrating the greatest gift we have ever been given - Salvation!

And I hope wherever you may be having an Easter Egg Hunt, the weather will cooperate, the birds will sing their little hearts out, and the smell of spring lingers in the air!
Love,
Debi

John 3:16New International Version (NIV)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Snowmobiling the Northern Big Horns


The Big Horn Mountains have an excellent snowmobile trail system. There is also lots of powder riding to be had if that is your thing. (One such person comes to mind instantly - our son, Riley.) The northern system and southern system connect, but on this day we decided to trailer to the northern trail system and do the southern section another day (like one week ago).


There are three lodges in the mountains that are situated within minutes of each other. Here we stopped at Elk View Inn for fuel and lunch.


Our next stop was at Bear Lodge Resort. This is an old unique bar and is always quite busy inside and out. Two years ago Steve and I rented snowmobiles from here on March 26. There was still plenty of snow in the hills. If you want, you can see that post here at Snowmobiling in the Big Horns. The third resort is Arrowhead Lodge. The trail took us right past it but I didn't stop for a picture. You can revisit the post Are We There Yet? for a few photos.


Lots of evidence that there are many snowmobilers, but Steve and I saw six snowmobiles while on the trails the whole day.




Steve was eyeing that hill up yonder.


And there he goes. He's that tiny speck in the middle of the photo.



He made it to the top.


And down he comes.


No, I'm not going to try it. I'm the picture takerer.



It's fun to come across an old cabin in the hills.





God's country for sure!!
