A couple of Montana photos....
....Just to keep y'all happy till Bonnie gets the whole schlamassel uploaded :-D.
Bonnie says, "Butter makes EVERYTHING better!" (Even though that was one very fine steak already!)

Dharma found herself not one, but two bona fide cowboys!


Cowboy Number Two is a rodeo celebrity even!
Bonnie, Dharma and yours truly enjoying real Montana ice cream in Butte.

Frontier Days beverage service:

A working cat gets a little TLC from Dharma (this is outside the cafe in the hallway of the attached livestock auction house, so yes, it's legal LOL)

View from our motel windows:

Sunset at the Cattlemen's Cafe (location of cowboys and cat!)

Roddy had a LOT of fun that morning LOL. Actually, cowboy number one was even funnier, because Dharma asked the waitress if she thought he would be terribly offended if she asked to take his picture. Waitress responded by going over to number one and pulling him out of his chair to pose and gab. It was HILARIOUS. Once egged on a bit, he had a ball playing Hot Stuff. He's still a working rancher, whereas Roddy is a dual-career guy, rodeo cowboy and I don't know what else. He's off this season recovering from breaking his femur in six places :-( . He still wears that championship buckle pretty well though huh? (Steer wrestling btw)
We encountered another Hottie of a Certain Age, pictures yet to be uploaded, who will make all you gals over forty REALLY drool (and maybe even some younger ones too). He was a biker, on his way back from Fairbanks, AK, to home in CO on a truly incredible BMW bike, had perfect totally silver hair, a couple weeks' worth of equally perfect silver beard, a weathery tan and the most BRILLIANT sapphire blue eyes. He was a widower--recently enough that he still wore his ring and was a little uncomfortable in declaring himself to be widowed--and I got the impression that he recovered from the oddness of female attention (especially once we explained that three out the four of us were married women on vacation ourselves) to enjoy our silly fawning over him and his ride.
Eventually you'll get to see a few pics of my sis, too. She met us one evening for dinner and proclaimed us an awesome group of DSers :-). The feeling was mutual!
