We drove to the far south side for Whiskey, BBQ and good friends on Saturday. I had such a great time
We bought the squares at Dollar Tree -they also have cork. Nat is putting all the Mini takes the States pins on them. Better than on the lanyards.
We rolled back to Seattle in time to shop at @goodandwellsupplyco as we walked out Paul & @bbphotogirlart Barbara found us! We were able to catch up with old Chicago Mini friends and have dinner
More from Olympic NP because I love the moss and ferns as much as the pines!
I was exhausted and didn’t take many pictures at the Museum if Flight where our end party was. But I did get @cornythecorn and @frogain and ate organic apricots from Yakima
Hard to top the drive to Seattle. We came up Chinook Pass came around the corner and BAM! The mountain was out! Mt Rainer is so beautiful. Also I turned around and filmed some Minis driving by! There were 912 minis
Beautiful drive into Yakima— except it was 98 degrees. We had been up in elevation since Jackson and it was in the 70s.
Yakima WA was a beautiful drive along the mountains until the gorge. Always with friends! @juicetz and Sherry, @colorado_clara and cut out Carl! Pancakes!
Spokane WA! Pictures with Tracey and her Chester Cheetah Mini, @sherriwilson who is beautiful and gave me a piece of Chicago art. Breakfast on the blankets.

Nice picture with Temple
More from the Ranch am rally at Bozeman! I had more fun today than anything at this ranch!
Bozeman was the most fun am rally yet. On a ranch (no signal) and a trick roper/cowboy entertainer. The ranch had their animals out and we all enjoyed seeing pack mules, horses, and yaks.
Some of Bozeman’s downtown and some of the PINES in Yellowstone. The 🌲 is my spirit animal
Some of Yellowstone. Old faithful and my favorite Grand Prismatic. I dream of this orange ever since we saw it in 2018.
Day two to explore was going to Grand Teton NP & Yellowstone NP. Grand Teton is so beautiful. All you can smell is pines. These are the most pretty mountains
More of Jackson WY we stayed in Grand Teton Village which is a ski resort. Our only bougie hotel. We had two little mountain friends and enjoyed walking the resort.
We had two days to explore and meet again in Bozeman MT on Wednesday. So we drove up from SLC to Jackson WY. It’s beautiful and we enjoyed the fun downtown
Thanks to @badzoot1 for this lovely picture of Chicago club members at the SLC evening event. I was 47th in trivia!
I’m behind due to two days of no signal. Day three Grand Junction!!
Durango pt 2 Steve & Linda. Our duck we leave out, his friends that were left. My camp counselor look.
Day 2 Mini takes the States 2024 Durango CO. Seeing @frogain had his mom in tow. We parked near @sherriwilson and Steve’s dinosaur got a rip and mini service’s did triage! All patched TRex up! Our drive to Grand Junction isn’t too long today but should be beautiful

I haven’t been to a college football game since the 90s. Nat, my dad and I went to Purdue for the Oaken Bucket game against IU. It was cold but a lot of fun. Zander came up to say hello too
I have changed out the trash kitties to spooky trash kitties (around the dumpster fire) and the day of the dead birbs are also out for All Hallows Eve.

Bears game last weekend with my sisturd, her beau, and Nat! The wave probably went around 10 times!! 🤣

Duck nest #2 hatched this weekend. Momma went parading around the courtyard today. This is right outside my courtyard door
This is why the magnolia tree is fleeting….
My dads Magnolia tree bloomed this week! You always have to enjoy it when it does because wind destroys the blooms
My purchases were few but I picked a few things that stood out to me these two hanks from @northwoodsfibers and some bags from @maybeacrafted
Yarncon happened today. The last one was 2019 and when my sister and I vended the first one was 2007! It was good to connect with all of these people listed and hug each and everyone of them. We enjoyed an early dinner and drinks with friends we haven’t seen in 2 or more years as well ♥️♥️
