The Pig Pen

I'm the last person I thought would ever create a blog. It's my lame attempt to give my family and friends a means of keeping up with my goings on and those of my kids. This way, I can prove I haven't fallen off the earth and that I do think of you all often.. even if I don't show it. Here goes!

No matter where I roam...















Ok, this will be the final posting regarding my trip to Montana. Honest! The shot of the mountain peak (Electric Peak) and of the red striped mountain (Devil's Slide) were taken from the front porch my dad's house. Imagine walking out the door every day to that?? I obviously appreciate it more now than I did when I lived there. The Yellowstone River, pictured above, lies between my dad's place and the mountains. I've spent countless hours fishing her waters and sitting upon her banks.

It's been 17 years since I left Montana. Yet, I still do, and always will, call it home. No matter how many years I've spent in the city (which I love!), I am still very much country. Whenever I cross her border, I feel an elation that literally overtakes me. I swear my BP drops 10 points and my mood reaches new highs. I have never had an explanation for these reactions...must just be that feeling of belonging....that feeling of 'home'.

    Well...I dunno, Karin. I do love you! A lot of my 'adult' friends have never been to MT or knew me during that part of my life. So I went a little overboard with it

    Hey Traci,

    After I add the pic to the blog I just type a title under the pic and then post it. You can also use a photo studio to make collages, add text, and mess around with the pic. I am working on some of that for my next blog. Guess we'll have to wait and see how it turns out on the blog...
