last day in Bozeman

We continued the birthday festivities for Mr. C with a wonderful dinner last night at the Emerson Grill in downtown Bozeman.

This building is the old Emerson Elementary School, now housing the restaurant, galleries, shops and offices.  Great use of the space.  We started with a grilled calamari that did NOT resemble rubber bands, Mr. C stuck with a vegetarian selection, I had Pasta Tutte Marerisotto
k with sausage, arugula, mushrooms  and garlic scapes, and Mike had a pasta carbonara.  Some desserts?  Of course!  A chocolate pot au creme with port wine and some sort of custard-y delight.  It was all washed down with , two bottles of Tangent Sauvignon Blanc.   We returned home full and happy and, for Mr. C, one year older!
Today was a quiet one, with reading out on the deck with the granddogs in attendance.

Huck and his smiling face!

We moved inside when the afternoon rain started.

This next post is a video but I have no idea if it will show.  It's the sight and sound of the rain.  Maybe yes, maybe no ...?  http://youtu.be/bXpPiVkW6DU"> rain storm
.  Well, I just checked it out and it doesn't work.   I need more tech instruction!

Tomorrow we move on toward Walla Walla and a visit with Alex.  Tomorrow we'll be in Coeur d'Alene, a moste beautiful city.  Look for the next post from there.  Bye bye boys.  See you again soon, I hope.
