Friday, July 2

July??? Are we already halfway thru the year? Golly gee!

Had another great thunderstorm in Billings the other night. Still having nice days though. Visited a wonderful old mansion in Billings, called the Moss Mansion, built by another European frontiersman. The home was modeled after the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Beautiful, intricate workmanship throughout. Took three years to build and then decorate by a Chicago firm.

That day there was a tremendous storm golf ball-sized hail in Bozeman....which is where we are now. Lots of crop damage, some friends here had a large window broken, and the resort told us when we checked in that a lot of motorhomes had damage to their roofs, vents, etc. Glad we weren't here yet.

Lots of snow still on the mountaintops, even though it is July. So between the mountains, snow, partly cloudy skies and sun....and remember, everything is very green here.....it was spectacular. Drove up to Big Sky ski resort. Not as many people as during ski season, but the bikers are having a good time biking down the ski trails. Beautiful vistas.

Today more roaming around Bozeman, and enjoying the good daytime weather.
