News from Teton National Park

We arrived at Teton Village KOA on Monday. I can't bear to tell you about the ensuing events but suffice it to say that there appears to be no permanent damage despite the "professional" parker that led me right into the tree! I can still hear Ron's cry of "STOP!!!!" ringing in my ears. No pictures of this yet -- maybe I can face it for the next post. I can show you a picture of the nice, wide-open, treeless place we spent Sunday night, in Rawlins, Wyoming: A Western Hills Campground.

On Tuesday we took a preliminary drive through the park and a stroll around Jackson and encountered a couple of shops that may be of interest to some of our friends. The first was on Pearl Street and is a knitting shop called Knit on Pearl, which I thought was clever. Looks cozy, too.

The second spot that attracted my camera is a restaurant that might appeal to our kinkier friends. Thai Me Up is a Thai restaurant with attractive outdoor seating. As you might expect there are lots of restaurants in Jackson, all expensive.


We celebrated our Fifth Monthiversary with a wonderful dinner at the Mangy Moose Restaurant in Teton Village. What an attractive couple, don't you think?

The weather has not been conducive to photography with massive rain storms (should be improving soon) so we have gone to a couple of movies. One was Kinky Boots, an English movie from the Sundance Film Festival that was also shown here at the Jackson Film Festival last week. Two thumbs up for this one. The other was The DaVinci Code. Too much blood for Joyce (the sissy one) and Ron thought the book was better but he still liked it. One thumb up and one down.

You are a nice looking couple!!
Can't believe you were in Jackson.
We are within walking distance of downtown. We are parked at the National Elk Refuge headquarters.
Are you still here??

Was there much damage to your MH?
We drove through Teton Park last weekend, and got a little hail damage this last week. Broke one of our vent covers and a few small dents in the hood of the pickup and also on the roof. Others had much more than we. Many birds on the refuge were injured - have broken legs and wings.

I like your "blogging" vs email because of the ease of tying picture descriptions & text to the particular picture. It's easy on my brain. You guys are on the leading edge -- the latest AARP magazine had an article on blogging only 5% are over 50, but that number is growing.

PS - I agree with the other comment -- what a nice-looking couple!

Joyce-
That yarn shop does look cozy! My birthday is less than three months away, you know! :)
I too am in favour of the blogging. It's really easy for everybody to see what's going on, and it is nice to have the pictures right next to the text.

Hey you two: You are adorable. I love seeing your pictures, but I also love to read the comments (I'm quite nosey). Don't be chicken now...show us the damage! Love, Linda
