View of Temple on the left and Wind River Peak

with snow on the right. Wind River is the highest

peak on the southern end of the Wind River Mtns.

On our last trip to Rock Springs this was a much

more beautiful scene with some fog and great

light, but I didn't stop to take a photo then.

Golden Eagle - Debbie snapped this one.

Eagle on Pole- notice the golden feathers on

his head which gives them their name.

There were three eagles sharing a breakfast
of rabbit. The third one is still on the ground.
He took off with the rabbit in his talons. I got
a picture of that too, but this is enough eagles for now.

Yesterday was another long one. It was good weatherwise. We left about 8:30, drove down the dirt road to Farson again just because it is more pleasant and scenic for a while before getting on the highway. Just coming into the farms is where we saw the eagles so stopped to watch and get the pictures. Traffic was very light on the highway in the morning. First we went to Herbergers to shop for kitchen stuff. They have really remodeled in there since I was in there last, well more than a year ago. Very nice now, with great kitchen and linens departments, and good prices. We reluctantly passed by all the clothes and sales. Did big power shopping here. Then to Penney's where we looked but didn't find anything. Penney's has gone downhill as opposed to Herberger's.

We skipped going back to Home Depot, although could have gotten all kinds of the cleaning stuff there. Time just didn't allow. Then we had lunch at Pizza Hut - by then it was 2:30. There was a big party next to our table for 15 little girls soccer team + some moms and dads. The girls got their trophys and also celebrated birthdays with halloween cakes. We went to Walmart and were in there about 3 hours or so getting everything imaginable. There are still things on the list that we will need as time goes by. Fast food at McDonald's for dinner and home by 8 p.m. All the way to the Muddy Speedway there was oncoming traffic pouring out of Sublette County. They have been working on the Speedway, and what a change from the "old days". It's always been so rough and rutted, terribly muddy when its was wet. They have most of it smooth, wider and graveled. It was such a pleasure to have that improvement.

We didn't unload but just left all the "stuff" the car and parked it in the garage. It would be great if it could stay in the car long enough to go unload it at the new house but Joe or dogs won't fit in the way it is now. VERY FULL!

It's an absolutely gorgeous day. Today Debbie's spent more time on the phone and looks like the money will be here on time. What a struggle that has been. Also talked to our accountant again. And then to our insurance lady who added the new house onto our policy. Those things are taken care of now.

Thought I'd begin to set up the cages to catch the cats. My neighbor 5 miles away on the river says she will take all the cats. I'm so pleased to know that. She even said I could have them back next spring, since I felt so bad about loosing them, but logically I probably shouldn't do that. I just hope the mice don't take the place over again.
