 I got off track with visiting different states across America, but it’s time to finish what I started months ago. The next stop on my list was Montana. I have no idea what to inspect, but I cannot wait to find out what there is to do in Montana.

Video #1 : I enjoyed looking at the trees and there were a lot of things to do outside. I am not that adventurous. I don’t like walking in dirt and I know I would never get on a small boat.

VIP Private North Yellowstone National Park Winter Excursion

By Globe Trekkers Tours

Yellowstone National Park is arguably at its most magical in the winter when the crowds have gone and the wildlife is abundant. This private tour from Bozeman takes you into the park via the North Entrance and to steaming hot springs and geysers. While your guide focuses on driving, you can stay focused on looking for bison, elk, bighorn sheep, coyotes and more.

Nature Walk in Glacier National Park

Start with a 1-mile round trip walk through Lake McDonald Valley, admiring its glaciated beauty and resident wildlife. Then, venture to the North Fork Valley with scenic stops en route. Take another 1-mile round trip walk along the Wild and Scenic North Fork of the Flathead River, learning about the environment and its history.

This engaging nature walk is easy, offering captivating insights. After the walk, return to the Glacier Guides and Montana Raft office in the early afternoon, benefiting from your knowledgeable guide’s expertise. Typically, the tour concludes around 1:30 PM. {}

I may not be the outdoor person and do love looking at the trees.

The End..

P.S- I am so over trying to get the pictures and words to go smaller. I may have to rethink on how or if go to Nebraska.

Time 2 Crochet…

I couldn’t think of anything to crochet, so I decided to just do granny squares. I did a few different ones, because I thought just working a regular square would be boring. I did learn doing different stitches even though you are using the same five count, the size doesn’t come out the same, and then you have to add an extra row to make up the difference.

I am going to post a few granny squares. These ladies know what they are doing, and I have learned a few new stitches from each of them. If it’s about crochet it could be on their site, so have fun looking through what they already have posted.

Joining Squares Idea in Crochet | Zigzag Slip Stitch Method | Embroidery Inspired Lyza Walters   Mar 11, 2020

I started joining my squares together as I started watching videos for my online traveling post. I may have stopped working on that post, I don’t feel like stopping crocheting, so I am going to watch one of my favorite amines and enjoy my first day off in five days. (I was trying to add the words to each video, but the words wouldn’t copy as I liked. I still don’t like computers to try to figure out how to fix it)

Time for a glass of water before I get back to having some crochet fun!!

Healthy Salad Dressings…

I am determined to stay on this healthier way of thinking. I have been working out, true only ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes before I go to bed, but that is a good start.

I decided I was going to eat more veggies and fruits and cut back on meat. I have already cut back on the sweets and fried food.

Short & Sweet Christmas #3: Musical..

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

I clicked on Jingle Jangle, because of the colorful outfits. This movie was uplifting and a touch of jealousy. It is a little sad, when the person you trust takes that trust, and turns it against you. In the end that person not only regrets what they have done, but realized you were on their side all along.

It has been said, “slow to talk and quick to listen.” Then again I guess it wouldn’t have been a good story if that actually happened. I liked the fact that it took a young person with an open heart to return a forgotten dream.

This is a good movie and I may watch it again…..

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey/Everything is Possible/Official trailer Netflix 

Netflix  Oct 4, 2020 

A musical adventure and a visual spectacle for the ages, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a wholly fresh and spirited family holiday event. Set in the gloriously vibrant town of Cobbleton, the film follows legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker) whose fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder. But when his trusted apprentice (Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it’s up to his equally bright and inventive granddaughter (newcomer Madalen Mills) — and a long-forgotten invention — to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within. From the imagination of writer-director David E. Talbert, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey reminds us of the strength of family and the power of possibility.  Featuring original songs by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, Davy Nathan, and “This Day” performed by Usher and Kiana Ledé.
