Shavin' the Mushroom!

And so it begins! The festivities have officially begun with the carving of the pumpkin. :)

My flower pumpkin.

 The side view - kind of blurry but you get the idea!

Piano Pat!

Deb and I took a drive to Great Falls a few weekends ago to visit our friend Helen, catch up with Kelly, and see the Sip n' Dip Lounge!

 Miss Piano Pat herself! 

 The fabulous art of Great Falls.

Here you see the Rainbow Trout Fishalo.

 Sippin' on Green Rivers and milkshakes at Snyder Drug.

 The bartender at the Sip n' Dip would NOT allow

Sheela to go swimming with the mermaids,

so Helen and I took matters into our own hands!

 Piano Pat in action! 

The beautiful Rocky Mountain Front.

The last days of summer . . .

This post a long time comin'! The last weekend of warm summer sunshine was filled with lots of outdoor activities! My friend Megan and I took a stroll up to Lower Geiger Lake and then headed for an afternoon float down the Kootenai. Awesome summer day!

Sheela at the lake.

There's a whoooole lotta pink happenin' there!

Moose or elk trax? Sheela for scale!

The fat fish that Meg caught!
