Shelby, MT

We stopped early, but are now in MT time, so we moved ahead an hour, and more mt driving today, Hwy 2 has only two lanes and no shoulders at times, so we moved slowly. We finished John Adams and find it even more interesting since the media is so full of politics again. Its almost comforting to know that there were mega problems for our country then too. How thankful we are that these early citizens wrote so much, letters as well as diaries.

And CLive’s knee is healing with antibiotic creme and a large bandage. He plans to wear shorts when he gets home and let it “air dry”.

It will be nice to get home again, but the quiet driving has been peaceful. We are listening to a John Patterson mystery, but its kind of bloody. I skimmed the end of the Zookeeper’s Wife, too many descriptive paragraphs of animals and surroundings. They were good folks, though.
