Which one do you think is mine? 
Nancy and Dick's House
Wind Rivers
WRs again - Mt Bonneville in the shadow
Fremont Lake from the overlook
A little more to the west showing the bluffor butte - notice the lighter places where
wildfire has burned the sagebrush and
grass is growing now.
This morning Nancy called and invited me up to her place on the lake for the weekly small art painting group and I said yes I'd be there. Then after we hung up I remembered this was the day the phone/computer/tv guy Jerry was supposed to come. Well, Joe said he wouldn't be here, which is just as well, because I want to be here when he does the work - my computer you know and Joe doesn't know anything about computers to tell me what the guy did. So I called Sandy at the phone co. and asked if he could come Thursday instead. Did I mention that the computer is wireless in this house and it works just great. Its really noticeably faster too. Guess it's DSL? And after getting all my painting stuff together drove up to Nancy's. Joe went and got our forwarded mail at the Pinedale post office for the first time and got his truck washed.
Somehow the dogs got split up, and Sparky managed to get in the truck with Joe and Raven was left home, so I took her with me. The last few days have been beautiful, and so was today. I took 62 pictures of the lake and things up there. It was easy to go be with the gals because instead of an hour's drive away I just drove up the hill a few miles. I've only seen Nancy once or twice all summer. And this was the first time I've seen Nancy and Dick's new house. The tore down their old cabin and had this one put up in its place. The forest service oversee's cabins on the lake and gives them a hard time, just like you would expect of the bureaucrats. They also had an awful time with the builder, but finally they are in their new place. They will go to Overton NV for the winter in about 3 weeks or so. Nancy made us a wonderful lunch with tortilla soup and salad and apple pie. We had a good time together and I got a small fall scene started. The lake was just like a mirrow with absolutely no ripples. This is the first time I've ever seen it like that. It always has ripples. There were a bunch of fish all about a foot long down below their boat dock, made me wish I had a fishing pole. Native Cutthroat I think. Next Monday they are coming here to paint, and I'll fix us lunch.
On the way home I went to Rocky Mountain Home and picked up a sample book of the pleated shades or blinds that we're getting a price estimate for. So have to decide which one to choose pretty quickly - tired of parading around in PJs with no window shades. Joe was just out here in his shorts - don't tell him I told the whole world.
When I got home Joe invited me out to dinner again and we went for sandwiches at the Brew Pub. That was nice. The furry faced guys liked it too.
I took 62 pictures today, so will put more of them in the blog from time to time. Tonight I got them enhanced and straightened out - I always seem to have the camera tilted and I don't know why. Guess I list to the right. Debbie called me and we talked on the cell phone. At the ranch there was never cell phone reception, so now we can talk for free on the Verizon family plan. I know I missed a call on the cell phone from Beverly too. Oh all this technology - it's such an awesome feeling to have all these modern gadgets.
