Sept.17,2008-
Today was really special!-slept good last night (except when Carol jumped outta bed saying something about a horse named Charlie pulling at her leg-she is so weird) and when I made Carol take me outside at sunrise, the aroma swirled all over us as we stepped outside-MUTTON! it was everywhere-like it always should be-didn't actually see any sheep but their essence was intoxicating!!
Carol's hand is better-did I tell you she got stung on the palm of her hand by a bee, right before we left yesterday-she put her hand down on the car seat to adjust my quilt and started screaming, holding her hand and looking for little pink pills in her purse-all got better after Barney took over and got what she needed-plus an ice pack.
So, today was sunny and cool/warm-we cruised north on I-90 in Montana, until we took a red road across Idaho at Missoula-crossed the Bitteroot Mountains and then glided down this beautiful road, complete with a trout filled river on one side and lush fauna on the other-just perfect!! Carol kept telling me she saw a kitty-cat, and three times I looked-never a kitty-cat-I never looked again, even when she said "Really! I did!" Nope-I may be a blonde, but I'm not stupid-besides this crate is real comfortable! I am still hurting from all these bites-but we finally found the Tea Tree oil, so relief is on the way!!
We have been following the trail of two dudes named, Lewis and Clark-Barney said they walked the whole way along time ago-that must of taken forever!! I thought 2 hours was a long time!!
So many people walking in the river, looking for fish-we heard a big one splash while we were walking around-looking for rocks-what else?? Poor Barney, he had to drive all day and couldn't look at all the huge rock mountains.
We are in Lewiston, ID right now, it is near the Nez Perce Indian reservation-Chief Joseph's tribe-only we are at this little comfort inn. They had smoothies and I had baked chicken-check that out!!! Only one piece of chicken is wrapped around one of those pink pills-hope it helps the itching. We will leave early tomorrow-towards Walla Walla-Barney is going to get a haircut and I am going to get a bath-somewhere. Evidently, we have to "be presentable" --whatever that is.
I have been told over and over that I am going to see Jenny and Nathan-really can't place them but I do remember this cute chick named Jenny-she had the nicest smile!! Hmmmm-where was that??? wow! my eyes are having a hard time here-guess that little pill is working-I always stop itching, but I can't enjoy myself because I just keep falling asleep!
I'll write soon-gonna be real busy the next few days-but keep checking in-love ya-jack
