Wind Rivers, Independent Peak above Big Sandy River


Our phone has gone haywire, it is ringing one or one half rings about every minute. If someone's trying to call I wish they would just quit and report it being out of order. Or if you read this around noon today, will you please report it. We will have to drive somewhere to use a cell phone to call it in. In the meantime I've unplugged both phones in the house and the one in the shop so it won't keep ringing. I'm going to ask Bonnie to report it tonight.

Bonnie and Craig are going to have dinner with us tonight after they bring the gate and get it put up. Joe's been down there this morning I guess demolishing the old gate. He took the chain saw and brought back firewood anyway. We're making spaghetti, garlic toast, fruit plate and phasula, a Greek salad. Was quite perturbed that our last two avocados had bit the dust. So we'll just pretend that they weren't supposed to be in there anyway. The spaghetti sauce is made. Bonnie said she would bring dessert. So now all that's left is to enjoy the evening with nice friends.

I spent a couple of hours this morning sorting out and filing photos. It's been a long time since I did that and have way too many. They need to be backed up onto the external hard drive before we move. I'm not taking my computer tower to town, just the laptop and the external hard drive. And maybe the printer. We're making lists of what is needed.

Yesterday I painted a little, and would like to do some more this afternoon. Feeling better today. Debbie got the art show packed up today. We sorted it out into what will stay here stored away, and what we will take to the new house to hang on the walls. So that is one big job done.

Here is an art site to check out that Judy sent. It is the sort of spin-off of Arts for the Parks Show which went defunct a couple of years ago.

It's the anniversary of the end of the Revolutionary War. On this day in 1781 in Yorktown, Virginia, General Charles Cornwallis and his army of 8,000 troops surrendered to George Washington and Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau. Together the Americans and the French had about 17,000 troops.
