January 11, 2008 ~ Billings Montana

We left Roundup after breakfast at the Busy Bee with Audrey & Louie. We had such a good time spending time with Mom and getting to know her good friend, Louie, who is now considered part of our family! We look forward to visiting with them again later on this year...

"The House that TY Built" - the Extreme Makeover Home Edition crew put this house together for a single mother and her daughters in 2007. Now, you can easily see it from the highway, but there are "No Trespassing" signs posted on this gate/fence. Located a few miles north of Billings.

Rog took this one of me, "reading" the lastest issue of Scrapbooks Etc by BHG; they invite readers to send this type of photo in for the "Where in the World is Scrapbooks Etc?" bit in one of their columns. Haven't sent mine in, yet...
