Snow

Snowing tonight in West Yellowstone. It seems too early for snow but that didn't stop it from falling. We are working in town for Yellowstone Silver Company and around 10;00 pm it started to snow. I don't think it will accumulate but you never know up here.

Fly fishing

Fun fly fishing small lakes where not too many people go can be rewarding. Not size but beauty and peace and quiet.

Moving on

We left the Teton RV Park behind for the season. Our work there is finished as the season was slowing down. We will miss everyone there and had a positive experience there. We look forward to seeing some of our coworkers in Arizona this winter. We will be working in Quartzsite Az. for Tyson Wells starting in Nov. and lasting until April 1st. We are now in West Yellowstone, MT. working for Yellowstone Silver a Native American Silver jewelry store along with gifts. We are provided with full hookups at the owners home and paid for all hours worked. Gilda will be working in the store and I will be working doing maintenance on the owners home for a while then working in the store. We will be here until Oct. 7th. It is great to be working in town around a lot of tourists. The rv park was 35 miles from nearest town and shopping.

The Virginian Art and Antique Show

We will be set up August 15th thru the 17th at The Virginian in Jackson, WY. Stop by and see some fine art and amazing antiques

Trout fishing the Snake River

Spent the day fishing on the Snake River in Palisades, Idaho. It was great fun I caught one Cutbow Trout, One Rainbow and one Brown Trout all over 16 inches. My friends and I had them for dinner and they were very good. Can't get any fresher than that.

Art shows

While setting in my booth at my most recent art show I was relieved to know I still had an income from my campground rv park job. I have tried to make a living the last couple of years just on my art sales. My art was just not moving so I had to come up with a solution. I would find employment in an area where I liked to visit then paint subjects from that area and get in a few local shows and see what happens. I now have been working here for 2 months and earning a wage and a free full hook up rv space and have done two shows. One show was a success and the other was not but I still have two more to go. I think I am on to something but only time will tell.

TETON VILLAGE ART SHOW

I will be at Teton Village, WY. this weekend for another great art show. This is an invitation only show so the art is of great quality and it is in a beautiful setting. Stop by and watch me paint and browse through the show and all the shops in the village. The show is located at the base of Jackson Hole Ski Resort.

Playing Guitar with other campers

Spent last evening in a jam session with a couple we met in the campground. There names are Vance and Donna and Gilda met them while doing her daily chores in the park. It was a lot of fun and a nice change for us to go out socially. I enjoyed Vance's guitar playing and his singing. We hope to get together tonight and play some more before they leave on Saturday. We hope to see them again someday down the road. We exchanged info so if our paths cross again we can get together. Don't be afraid to ask people you meet if they play music. I had a friend and fellow musician tell once that if you play an instrument you will always have friends wherever you go.
