See all those tiny little dots or distant dark lines?

They are elk on the

National Elk Refuge north of Jackson.

There were LOTS of them out there.

I might have gotten better pictures of them

if I'd gotten the new camera! huh?

Anyway gives an idea of the scenery there.

Friday the 9th: Joe went to coffee and bought another snow shovel - with a different configuration of the handle. The first one is a big scooper type. He got the mail. The gas bill for the month is almost $300. – not used to that in the budget! Guess we never appreciated the wood stove as much as we should have. Still sleeping a lot off and on. But got a shower and washed my hair, and went down to the clinic about 3:30 to get the chemo pump removed and the picc line flushed. Then to Ridley’s for groceries. Tried the Hormel pot roast Judi recommended that’s ready cooked and some Idahoan red instant mashed potatoes (both good) with some frozen corn on the cob and bag salad. I didn’t hear any complaints and I liked the meat and potatoes pretty well. I might be doing more of that at times, and need to find something easy to fix that Joe will eat – he’s so against prepared stuff. I’m going to see what the Hormel turkey is like next. He was asking for hot turkey sandwich a few days ago. The recycling center was still open, so I dumped the cardboard boxes that had been in the car for days off there. Sheral called sometime in this time area and I enjoyed the visit with her.
