wondering and wandering

First of all...Happy 300 to you! It's incredible to think we have made that many posts here on the old Wonder Net, but I'm glad it's been part of our lives these last couple years living far from one another again. I wonder what we would have thought about "blog communication" back when we were little and you were living in Chile. In some ways it was nice to have less frequent updates, because when I did get a letter from you or, on a very fortunate day, a phone call, it was like a treasure. Remember how it used to take multiple counts to 10 before we could finally convince ourselves to hang up? Not to say that your letters and phone calls aren't treasures now...

I spent this morning exploring the Appaloosa Museum in Moscow. For our seminar class we have to write a proposal for a new way of displaying an existing collection. I'd been meaning to hit up this local museum for a while anyway. I don't know what my proposal will be yet, but here are some images I took during my visit. (If you didn't know, the Appaloosa breed started in this region, hence the museum.)


Yesterday, I noticed my band aid looked very much like an owl....

Final thought: With all of this depression, recession, and gas price fluctuation I've been wondering a lot about what parts of our current life style will seem absurd a few years from now. I remember when we all started to freak out when gas started going over one dollar a gallon, and now that it has dropped under two dollars, it seems incredibly cheap! It hasn't been very long and it already seems unimaginable to pay one dollar or less/gallon at the tank. Are you catching my drift? Someday will we think it was crazy that we were able to have lights on whenever we want, or shower every day if we so choose?

Sorry for the randomness..my brain is a bit scattered these days.

More McKinley pictures please......
