Fiona took a tour of the family burial ground of the family while they've been on vacation of the last week.  It's one the 'pioneer' graveyards in the state, and there are a lot of the old IWW tombstones the labor group put on their dead.

Since we've been in the area since '47, there tend to be a bunch of dead ones, and you have to put them someplace, right?  They also toured the town, visiting the park named for Fiona's GX5/6 (Kate, correct me here.)

I was going to include a couple of the post offices pamphlets with their pictures from the Post Office, but decided against. 

Dinner

Somewhere around noon, I decided I have a craving for meatloaf. Well, maybe 'craving' is overstated, but the word did occur to me. So I did the ingredients:

Burgeoning Food Critic?

It would seem the burger was not to her liking. Perhaps the presentation....

G'kids

Two of the grandkits. The one on the right is probably cheating......

First day in awhile it isn't smoky in Butte. A random shift in the wind, I suspect. We could and probably will get more.  On the plus side, the first snow for the mountains around us is Monday or Tuesday. Hope it's true.

Butte

Something to watch if you want to know Butte.

Adios for a bit.

Heading to Seattle tomorrow, back in 2-4 weeks. Hope it isn't too hot  where  you  are, the drive  across tomorrow  should  be miserable.....Spokane temps, half way there, supposed to be 107,  which  I realize  ain't  nothing to Bruce and his AZ  ilk,  but  to a poor boy  from Butte, that's  effing hot.

My  destination:

See you  on the flip side.

Montana Breakfast

What did you have?  This Rainbow and Brown came from the Big Hole last evening.

Today we're heading for the county fair, see what kind of livestock the local kids have been raising.
