WAHOOO!

Last day

with students at Ennis School District. There have been flowers and tears and a yummy bouquet of little candy bars. Lots of hugs, even from kids that i didn't think liked me! I'll have some pics on here tonight.

I had the hardest time picking out what I would wear on my last day of school.

It's a nice day out, ain't it Ellen?

A few weeks ago, Scott and I decided to take a drive to Big Sky. It's a little village on the other side of the mountains we live by. Big Sky is not considered a town, but has lots of homes, businesses and most of all...lots of money. Most people live there a week or so out of the year for their winter skiing vacation. It feels like a miniature Jackson Hole. Tucked here and there on Lone Mountain are mansions in which owners can ski down the mountain literally right out of their back yard, and the subdivision called the Yellostone Club. (Criteria for said club membership is to prove at least a million dollars in your bank account.) Anyway, Ellen lives in a little condo up there and her significant other, Derek, works for a building company. On the way, we passed by Hebgen Lake and it's herd of buffalo.
Shortly after arriving at their place, we decided to take a hike to Oozel Falls. (oozels are those little birds that bob up and down on rocks in or near the water and are tootems!) So, here we are, on the hike.
We've been friends for 21 years. Few things never change: my hair is natural, her waist is skinny!

Here is the site when you look down on the falls. Still snow on the northern banks...
There is slate rock near and around the water so we were able to get close. Her Derek and my Scott talking about who knows what, lol.
Closer look at the falls and its obvious spring-runoff color.
And the downstream. I loved this rock wall, too.

It was a nice day...a great hike and good visits. Good friends are far and few between and incredibly priceless!
