Yipee

Here it is the 6th of July. The week went by really fast. We enjoyed the time spent with Sis's daughter and husband. Today we are chilling while they are traveling back to California.
Thought I should post some rodeo pictures.

Fireworks

Happy Independence Day.

Sat in the cold, yes I said cold, last evening above the rodeo grounds waiting for the fireworks to begin. The bull riding went on forever. That we couldn't see. While waiting I was messing around with my camera and discovered a fireworks setting. I caught a couple of good ones. what do you think?

July 3 day trip

Today was our day trip with Keith and Jennifer to the Center of the Nation Marker. It is 7.8 miles off of HWY 85 on a gravel road. There is a hand painted sign on the fence. You park and crawl through the fence and then avoid stepping on cow pies to get to the marker. The marker with the arrow is a reference point. That is where they placed the flag. It points to the other marker which is a few feet away and says 'center'. The information guy at the Tri-State Museum in Belle Fourche says the actual center could be within a 15 mile radius of the center marker. Go figure. Anyway, it was fun. Took several pictures of wild flowers while we were there. The last picture is of the front porch, of course.

Happy Independence Day.
