WASHINGTON - MONTANA - NORTH DAKOTA

It appears I have learned how to vacation, but haven't learned to let my readers know I will be off! Please forgive me. My grand daughter had her first birthday, and of course I couldn't miss that. And then I made plans (months ago) with my friend, Julie, to go to Montana and North Dakota. We went to see both of her daughters and their families, also her brother and his wife.

This writing will be short, kind of like an introduction. Honestly, my head is spinning with stuff to catch up on, and with all the driving we did (we started in Seattle area), I am now tired. I think my posts this week will be in parts. Sometimes I get carried away and it is too long.

Our trip was fabulous, of course sharing the drive. Western Washington is beautiful, lush and green, and evergreen trees everywhere. (Hence lots of rain.) Eastern Washington is quite dry and a very different landscape, little trees. Montana was my favorite, with mountains, lakes, trees, and lots of wild life.

The next post, tomorrow, will be on a Harley ride, Rhino utility vehicle ride, and target practice - yup, I learned how to shoot a gun. It seems out of character for me, being a non-violent person, but I have wanted to learn how to handle a gun for years. I think it's because I don't want to be afraid of it, rather be able to hold it and manage it if I have to.

Thank you, good night and God Bless!    Aleta
