It was a day of natural wonders. It began with beautiful blue skies! We drove to Devil’s Tower National Monument for a three hour visit including a hike around the base marveling at the skill of the climbers. Then we drove to Medora, ND along backroads. One was Montana 323 which was a gravel road through open range. Besides cattle we saw the deer and the antelope play. We were awfully glad to be in the car when we saw the rattler! Arrived in Medora shortly after sunset and moonrise. It’s a lovely cool and dry evening.
Thanks for getting in touch! I love the pictures and your comments. I hope I get as lucky as you two someday. To find someone I love as much as you two love each other… You can see your having a wonderful time, way to go! Take care friends,

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!

Holy smoke, that’s a huge rattler snake! Always good to read your blog.
Yes! That was quite an impressive rattlesnake. The photo was taken with me safely inside the car and the snake on the outside!
