You Guessed it - More Snow!

On Saturday, we awoke to MORE SNOW! The trees were laden with it:
This tree is on the corner of our property.
This is the white landscape from our deck.
This shot is from "downtown" Dolores - the piles of snow from the roof almost reaches to the eaves.

A Trip to Billings

It was great seeing my Lockwood teacher-friends!

We went to a cake decorating contest:


Notice how much this cake looks like Dane!
Even Stu got into the act - he drove over from Bismarck Thursday evening after work. It was great seeing him and playing with our Billings friends.
