All By Myself

This past weekend Janna had a big paper due so I had some alone time (aka – get out of my hair so I can study). I decided to go to the museum, which is very close and best of all it's free. In our past visits together, we spent lots of time in each room looking at every exhibit. On my own I decided to do a “quick” lap though the entire building (it is huge) and explore all the nooks and crannies (never know when I might need a good hiding spot from a pissed off Scotsman). Exploring the old part of the building was fairly straightforward. All the rooms are square and on the same levels. As long as I kept turning right (I always turn RIGHT when ever possible) I eventually ended up were I started and saw everything in-between. A guy on acid must have designed the new part of the building. There are no square rooms, countless different levels connected by spiral stairs, and many indoor bridges that connect all the chaos. I am still not sure if I saw all the rooms.



Now I am going to cement your opinion that I am a dork... I love the Antiques Roadshow. As luck would have it the original British version was being filmed at the museum. I know PBS sometimes airs the British version, so you all will have to look for me in the background trying to pretend I am not fascinated.

Ryan, I love the Antiques Roadshow and watch it on Saturdays on the British channel that we get. My other favorite is Cash in the Attic. Hey if you know when the show will be on, I will make sure I see it.

I drove to Billings and picked up Grandma Almeda. Grandma Bea has been here for over 2 weeks now helping out Jodi. They will both be here for Wyatt's shower on Monday...how cool it that to have the great grandmas both there. We'll have them for Thanksgiving and Wyatt and Alivia's baptism. I think Almeda will ride back to Townsend then and someone from Power will pick her up there. It cost over $600 for her to fly from Great Falls to Billings so we came up with alternate plans. I work Monday and Tue. and then will have Wed. through Friday off. Have a great weekend and do some more exploring. Aunt Irene

Hi kids -- we'll be going over to Jack & Gervaise's tomorrow (Sunday) and hope to do an online chat and see each other on the webcams! I'm online this morning trying to catch you to put dad on the headsets. Darren & friend Chip are here to do a little deer hunting. Love, mom
