Our best meal in Yellowstone!



The best meal we've had since we arrived in West Yellowstone in May! We ate last night at the Yellowstone Hotel and the food was superb...far better than the Old Faithful Inn or anywhere we've eaten in town. The hotel was built in 1891 on the shores of Lake Yellowstone, it originally was a railroad hotel. With renovations, the hotel you see in this picture emerged! The view out of the dining room is beautiful! Last night we kept waiting for Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray to dance into the dining room. It is so reminiscent of "Dirty Dancing"! Right down to a string quartet in the sun room.
We did have one setback...a man pulled out of a parking spot and backed his car into the side of the mustang! You know that's Woody's baby but he managed to keep his cool...well, fairly well anyway! When we called his State Farm agent, he had already called in the claim. Great to know there are honest people still left in the world! We have State Farm too...they've always been great!
We spent today running errands and getting presents ready to mail for birthdays!
Our friends Bill and Jane sent us the most wonderful care package from home! Tonight we had white beans, corn muffins, country ham and biscuits...yesterday we polished off the RoC cola and moon pies...oh and don't forget the goo goo clusters! I may not love Jane later tonight! It's amazing how easy it is to cook beans in a crock pot! We also bought a toaster oven. We don't like to use propane because we pay for that and electric is free! You know we are retired and watching our pennies! Right!
I'm still knitting...watch your mail! Have a great rest of the week!!
