Need blog help
If any of you could help me how to add a few other blog friends: i.e. Steve, Sonja, Tom, Sarah and Chris, etc. I don't know how to add them to 'where you really want to go.' So if someone wants to do this for me, ya'll know how to get into our blog, I haven't changed any thing... Love you all my computer geek family.

Chouteau County Fair
Part of the fun of going to Fort Benton in the summer is either Summer Celebration or the County Fair. I was there for the fair, and it didn't disappoint, well too much. It is much smaller than it used to be, but still has some charm left.
I didn't take any pictures, but there are some things that only words can describe.
On Friday we were supposed to go to the 'Pig Wrestling' but received a phone call from Hardy that it had been cancelled. It seems the wild pigs were missing. Yep, when they went to get them, they were gone, you just cannot trust those wild pigs. And if that wasn't funny enough, it made news all over the US, the AP put it out there and we even saw it in USA Today: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5huk_RqO_KIvq3AVJoksSekRZOmnwD9HOJNU00
The title says: "Pig wrestling cancelled after porkers elude capture."
I just cannot make this stuff up.
I also thought I'd share a few lines from the fair booklet that has the events and instructions for entries:
Listed as part of the events were:
-Bred Heifer Ultra Sounds
-Rabbit Show and Rabbit Interview Judging
Under the entries, here is part of the description for entering beer:
"Beers entered in the wrong class will not be judges. Beers will be judged on aroma, appearance, in-mouth flavor, in-mouth body, drink ability and overall impression."
(Can beers be judges and drink?)
A list of 'classes' for crafts is stated as such, obviously not very politically pc:
Class 3-Indian Regalia
1. Item of clothing
2. headdress
3. Musical instrument (drum, flute, rattle, bells, etc.)
4. Any item not listed above,
Everything above, is copied exactly as it is in the book. There were many other mistakes, but these were the funniest.

OUR NEW ROAD
Some of you know the story behind us building a new road to access our home in Montana. Suffice it to say: neighbors, eat your heart out! We now have a very nice road and we are ecstatic not to have to share the first part of our driveway with our neighbors.
Our new switchback looks and feels better than the old one
