Yellowstone National Park - Day 1

We arrived in Gardiner, MT, and headed up the mountain at about 8:30a to check out a 1st come 1st serve campground called Eagle Creek Campground in Gallatin National Forest, and we got a great site #9. If we had been just a little later we would not have gotten anything as it filled up shortly after. After a brief rest, we drove into Yellowstone to the Visitor Center, then took a short hike around the lower of Mammoth’s Hot Spring Terraces. Finished day #1 with dinner date in at The Yellowstone Pizza Co. in Gardiner, MT.

Wichita Falls - Texas

We enjoyed a brief stay at the city campground in Wichita Falls, Texas. Site #20. Electrical hookups, water, and a dump station are available for a reasonable price. We walked to Jason's Deli for dinner. The river that runs next to the park was extremely high.

Pretty much had the park to ourselves

I Am Thankful

I am thankful for so many things in my life. Four years ago when I was still principal, I wrote the following column for the PTSA newsletter and titled it, "I Am Thankful." Thought I'd share it again... Principal’s Letter - November 2007 As I sit here contemplating the topic for this month’s edition of the Dodgen Dateline the first thing that comes to mind is to take inventory of the things for which I am thankful.  It is, after all, that time of year.  First, I am thankful that my list includes items such as a wonderful family, adequate food and shelter, and employment at the best middle school in the United States.  Of course I could go on for many more pages.  I am blessed indeed.  How about instead, I share some things from my list that I am sure you would not have guessed?  The baseball that has scrawled on it the words “I love you very much,” comes to mind.  The words were writ...
