Halfmoon Lake beginning to thaw 
Small Creek at Half Moon Lake 
Fremont Lake Panorama From Upper Overlook It's pretty late. Just to catch you up on what's been happening the last few days. Betty and Nancy got here fine yesterday about 2 p.m. I fixed the worst meal I've made in years, a casserole which has always been foolproof. We had a great time visiting.
First thing this morning the dentist's office called and said I could come in to get my broken tooth fixed at 11:20. When I got sick one thing that occurred to me was that I wouldn't have to go to the dentist again, but then isn't there always something that has to prove you wrong.
So we hopped to it getting ready and went to town. We were early enough that we drove around town showing Nancy and Betty different things, including the new acquatic center. Were able to have lunch at Rendezvous Pointe in between the exam and the filling. Introduced the friends to other friends. Had to go back after the initial 11:20 exam, and at 12:30 the tooth was fixed in no time. No numbing shot was needed. Between the intital discussion of the prices of different options, with a quote for a filling instead of a cap, and the payment desk the price went up $100. We took a sightseeing drive to Fremont Lake and up toward Elkheart Park in the Wind Rivers. The lakes are still frozen. We went to Halfmoon Lake Lodge, White Pine Ski Area, and the Fremont Lake Overlook. That was just about as far as the road had cleared off from the snow pack so we didn't go any higher. Then back down to Lakeside Lodge and to Faler's/Ridley's for groceries and got Joe some 30 weight Pennzoil at Napa.
Back home by 5 p.m. and Nancy made us a delicious meatball vegetable soup for dinner with garlic cheese toast. Betty noticed that there were animals up on the hill, and there were perhaps 30 elk grazing there that we were able to watch while we ate dinner. That was wonderful. Tonight we went through the old high school yearbooks, wondering what had happened to all the old schoolmates.
Today was mostly overcast with some sunny spots and windy - a cold miserable wind. Tomorrow I'll put on a few pictures of the gals.
