Think the bridge at Jay Cooke State Park but skinnier and more bouncy. There was a limit of 5 persons. -Miranda
The map. To give an idea of distance, it's a bit over 100 miles to Troy from Kalispell along highway 2.
Libby Dam.
Momma Mary might recognize this.
The Kootenai Falls on the Kootenai River. Notice the frost on the upper mountain. There were some neat frost lines.

Joe and I went for a short walk in the back pasture today. One of neighbor's horses was down near the fence so he came over and I got to pet him. Not long after two others showed up. So, I sat around and petted them for awhile.
Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting them to be there so I didn't bring my camera. Maybe some other time.-Miranda

Well, we had a very nice Christmas. On Christmas Eve we had dinner together and played some cards. Sara and I went shopping for food (they always have shrimp and oysters) and we got some stocking stuffers too. On our way home we saw a Husky running around on highway so we caught it (it was quite friendly) and tried to call the number on its tag. When no one answered we brought the dog back to the house until we finally did get a hold of the owner about 15 minutes later.
We got our stockings and opened presents in the morning. Thank you all for the gifts you sent. We went to Nancy's sisters for dinner and we played cards with relatives. Afterwards we came home and watched some more Firefly.
It was weird and a bit sad not being home for Christmas, but we had a nice time.

Well, we're not doing much for our anniversary, but we are hanging out with Pat, Nancy and Sara (half sister). We played many games of pitch, which was a lot of fun. Joe and I went for a walk in the snow in the field with Brad the cat. Mom and Papa had sent the top of our wedding cake to the house. I included a picture of it below... Otherwise, we're going to watch some Firefly and we've been wrapping presents. It's been a fun day so far.

The cake didn't really like going through the mail apparently.

The pretty christmas tree. It's fake... A logger with a fake christmas tree.... go figure.

So now that we have snow, the cows are getting crabby. They have to work for at least some of their food now. They're water is harder to get to them now too being the faucets for the hoses are frozen. So, today Joe and Pat got some wood as well as filled a 35 gallon water jug with water to bring down to the cows. They also dumped snow in the trough so that would melt (the water is heated so it won't freeze) and add some volume.

Picture of the backyard and the snow and you can see some mountains in the distance.
The crabby cows.
Joe stirring the snow into the water in the trough around with Pat watching.
