Heading Back To The U.S.
Click on image to enlargeToday was a fun day! Max's youngest sister, Connie, made us a blueberry pancake, bacon, and egg breakfast at their motor home at Lee's Creek campground. Then we went to visit Max's first grade teacher, Ada Blackmore. We often try to see her when we are in the area, and she was thrilled to see Max again because he has always been one of their prize graduates. Ada's husband, Bill, was the school principal and an ag teacher who took a special interest in Max, so he has very special memories of them both.
Cardston Mormon TempleWe left Ada at about 11:30 and headed south toward Montana, which is only about 17 miles from Cardston. It was good to be allowed back into the U.S. We followed the route that skirted around Glacier Park and the scenery was fabulous. After yesterday's downpour of rain, the day was adorned with blue skies and plenty of sunshine.
The picture posted at the upper left is an iron sculture of Indians on horseback, flanked by a U.S. flag, Canadian flag, Montana flag, and some tribal flag. I think it may be from the Piegan tribe since we had just come through the Piegan, Montana border crossing. The flat top mountain in the background is Chief Mountain, which is very prominent (on a clear day) from nearly every point in Cardston and the surrounding area. The picture posted to the right is the Cardston Mormon temple, as seen this morning as we left town.
We are in Libby, Montana tonight which is a peaceful rural, country setting. It should be about 300 miles to Wenatchee, so we should be home by mid afternoon tomorrow (Friday). The fun is nearly over because there is plenty of work to tend to once I get back to reality (I mean the office). Wenatchee real estate awaits my return!
