Our dear friends took a trip to Montana, taking in Yellowstone.  Btolly has a most unique travelogue entry full of wonder, enthusiasm, beautiful vistas, love of geology and connection to place.  Waaaaaay back in the mid-90’s our families did “Friday School” together.  I taught grammar and Bonnie taught science.  I’ll never forget my son’s excitement the first day, “Finally — a good science teacher!”

If you are looking for a gorgeous vacation destination, consider Elk Lake Resort.  The Lady of the Lake (her blog name) writes about her life among the wildlife in remote western Montana.  Think Confessions of a Pioneer Woman blended with Earth Is Crammed With Heaven.
