One of my favorite scenes on the way home - I love this.

I did a similar small watercolor.

Sandra has this view every day of the year.

She has named it.

"Sleeping Indian Holding His Weenie in His Hand"

I was sorry I hadn't recognized it first.

It's actually East Temple and Temple Peak.

But Sandra's concept is a lot more interesting.

And more humorous!

So much for Jackson Hole's Famous Sleeping Indian.

Zoomed in on the Roscoe Sign.

The phone is still out of order. They are working on it. The wind has blown the antenna off its direction and they need to brace it. But the wind is blowing too bad for the guy to get up there and fix it. I think they will be back tomorrow. In the meantime we can email.

The wind was cold today. We were gone all day Tuesday to Pinedale. First stopped at the post office and arranged for our mail to be forwarded temporarily to Pinedale. It will be free and our address won't have to be changed.

Then to the bank, finishing up the process for getting the money ready to pay for the house. It’s been a little frustrating. So anyway we have to go to Rock springs Wells Fargo in the morning because Pinedale WF bank doesn’t have the signature stamp we need to use yet, and then it has to be sent overnight to the broker. They then have to send it back etc. Got my protime at the clinic. We drove by some places looking at kinds of fences that will hold the dogs that the home owner's association might approve. Ate lunch at the Bottom's Up Brewery and bought a few groceries. I stopped by Centurytel and began arranging for their bundle to provide phone, internet and Dish TV on one bill. Our Dish account at the ranch can be moved with us to Pinedale, called "on vacation".

After lunch we went over to the nearby video store - just to see if they had a few used videos I could buy, since I've watched all mine several times now. WELL ..... I LOVE A GOOD BARGAIN and never in a thousand years dreamed I would buy over 70 videos today. They had a sale where you could have all the videos a huge bag would hold for $50. We got 70 in the bag so each one was about 70 cents, Debbie figured. I got some great movies too, and oldies but goodies. The good thing is that they all fit in my video tower with room for about 15 or 20 more. I told Debbie that now the video player would break and not be able to buy another one since everything is going to DVD. (First watched Instinct with Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr.)

Walked the dogs on the nature trail. We went to RM Home furniture, but couldn't’t see much and it will take 4-6 weeks for the furniture they order to come. Remember their store burned down last summer and they have very little in stock. We asked them about making pleated shades for the whole house. We’ll look at furniture stores in R.S. tomorrow. Hope if we find something we like they will deliver it. Wish they had something like RC Wiley in SLC. Maybe go to Wal-Mart. Joe has to go to sign the paperwork at the bank and I know he will be impatient to get back home.

Debbie, Joe and I and the dogs will leave as early as possible Wednesday morning for Rock Springs. Hopefully we can go in some furniture stores there although I know Joe will be impatient to go home after the bank business. I’ve been doing more organizing so I will know what I’m doing and have it right at the bank in the morning. Debbie is helping us a whole lot, I’m glad she’s here. We're realizing we'd better start putting stuff in boxes at this point. In a little over a week we should be about ready to move things in.

Thankfully I’m feeling better now than I was after the pump came off.

There is a new Pinedale Blog to follow - Hank and Debbie's RV Travels. I stuck another link onto the list of blogs if you'd like to check it out. Betty would probably be interested because right now they have been down around her stomping grounds.
