Saturday - August 8

 Beautiful Saturday in Greycliff.    We drove into Big Timber for breakfast-to-go……1st stop was The Big Timber Bakery which had gotten good reviews from other campers online.    2 beautiful cinnamon rolls were waiting….1 caramel and 1 regular.    Excellent.    Then to The Coffee Shop for our coffees and on home.    Warmed up the rolls and dug in….

Realize the customers eating and drinking can't wear masks, but none of the help did either!   Arghhh!

                                                                     Love our cinnamon rolls

                       

 After breakfast, we drove into Greycliff (pop – 56) to mail a birthday card.    Nothing much here and surprised they have a post office as that is really the only business we saw.

Just down the road we read all about prairie dogs which are in abundance here – unfortunately, they were too quick for this photographer.    We saw them standing on their hind legs (blended in with the grass) and then “poof” they scrambled back down into their hole.    These critters are part of the ground squirrel family and their burrow (home) can be 14' deep providing shelter, food, storage and safe haven from many predators which feed on prairie dogs. 


We enjoyed a quiet rest of the day - weather was perfect, windows all open and just had some good ole R and R.

Our colorful NC kiddies

 

Very sad to hear that a former grade and high school classmate of mine died Thursday.    He was in a nursing home where there are many cases of Covid between staff and residents.   Bugsy was quite a character - full of life and fun!

Thought ice cream sounded good this afternoon.....the closest was 49 miles away!    Decided we didn't need it that bad!    Ha!

We are in Sweet Grass County, Montana where they have had only 5 Covid cases with 1 death.   The entire state has had 4,000+ cases with 75 deaths

We have not played one single game of cards or anything since we left NC.....so this afternoon, we got out the cards and had 3 close games of 2-handed euchre with Mark winning 2 of 3.

Walked around the campground - many left this morning and they're filling back up tonight.    Loaded baked potatoes and salad for supper.
