Sunday Salon -- Montana

Weather: Rainy and overcast. Temperatures in the high 40s and low 50s.

Glacier National Park: We arrived in Montana yesterday for our family vacation to Glacier National Park. We are staying at a cabin we've rented nearby. Because of the clouds and the winter/summer storm we haven't actually seen the mountains yet. We understand good weather is on its way.

The cabin: We've rented a big house to accommodate us all in beds. See photo collage.

"Our Cabin" for the week in Montana


Books:
  • The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin -- We're listening to this high fantasy/Sci-Fi adventure. 85% complete.
  • The Anecdote by Karen Russell -- Don and I listened to this book last weekend coming home from his 50th Reunion. EXCELLENT. WOW! Rating -- 5 stars.
  • The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami -- Super depressing because it could really happen, or is happening.
  • Water, Water: Poems by Billy Collins -- Such a funny poet, such funny poems. I'm really enjoying this new collection. 67% complete.
  • The In-Between Bookstore by Edward Underhill.  My Pride Month selection. Rating -- 3 stars.

Don's 50th High School Reunion: Don and I had so much fun this past weekend as he gathered with about half the living members of his high school class. He grew up in a small town where many of the people in his class went to school together K-12. It was fun for them to talk about memories of life in their town, not just high school ones.

Don and his Grant Union HS classmates at the Canyon City Old Schoolhouse. Don is the seventh person up the stairs, behind the gal with the poofy hair. So fun!

Tomorrow: We enter the national park and hope for mountain-ish adventures.
