May 2010 be an excellent year for health, happiness, harvests and lots of rides.

It started out as a white December. Of course it was a white Christmas. By this time in the afternoon - it was looking blue. It was too cold for many photos, for me and the camera battery.

Sugar has always been my shadow dog. Now that Lucky is gone, she is sticking even closer. I’ve even caught Rocky the cat sleeping next to her. Will wonders never cease?

I’m considering inviting Charles J. Hanley for coffee.

Here’s his AP article from this morning’s Billings Gazette.

This is an unused Sanborn RPPC. I have never seen this image before. I’m thinking of taking photos at the same locations the photographers of some of my favorite cards used. I’d like to see the differences over the years. I will wait until it’s warmer, though. It’s 6 above now.

Let’s try to appreciate all that we have to be thankful for every day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Floyd

Here’s a street scene in Red Lodge with Mount Maurice in the background.

It’s been over a month since I’ve posted. Life happens, thankfully. Nothing exciting to report. More snows, more melts. Here’s Gustof’s correspondence with Ruth from 1912.

postmarked Red Lodge, Montana 10 Aug 1912.

Read your card some time ago was glad to hear of you. I was over to Melsons last night. Thor was telling about making cake in Darling from Gustof

Melsons? Making cake in Darling?

I never thought I’d be so glad that I don’t have to go feed cows.
