I thought this bronze statue was so pretty

I got a little bit excited when I saw these painted buffalo--to go with the painted horses I saw in Logan a couple of months ago. I'm such a dork Jen! I did drive around town, taking pictures of them!

These little guys were hanging on one of the hotels I inspected. I thought they were cute.

The scenery coming out of Yellowstone, back into the valley was so pretty. I had to pull over several times to take photos. It made me feel a little guilty, because honestly, I live in this beauty every day & don't appreciate it near enough.

So after a short side trip to Driggs, I ended up back in Idaho Falls. I spent a lot of the day feeling a little sad & sort of feeling sorry for myself. I was missing my dad & I knew also that I had made someone important to me unhappy with me. So I was very grateful for the opportunity I had to end the day thinking about someone other than myself. Thank you to my dear, dear friend for allowing me the opportunity to provide a small act of service to her sweet little family. I never would have thought that buying two pizzas and a dozen cupcakes could make me feel so much better! Another opportunity to provide a small act of service presented itself to me again today in front of the library. So I find myself wondering, is someone trying to send me a message? Maybe it's time for me to get over myself a little bit and stop spending so danged much time focusing on myself & start serving the wonderful, wonderful people I am lucky enough to have in my life!

YOU are a wonderful person! We really appreciated the gesture soooo much! Austin was so excited that someone was bringing him pizza....no better gift for that kid! :) What a great trip to go see Yellowstone. I'm jealous, I love going up there! I hope you realize just how terrific of a person you are, and you have always been so willing to help me out. I couldn't ask for a better friend! Love ya! :)
What a great post! It was fun catching up the other night. You are such a sweet person. I am also jealous you went to Yellowstone. We have been wanting to go, some day soon I hope.

how cool Liza, looks like a great day out and about, even if it made you miss your Dad you are allowed that once in a while!
I am never unhappy with you - you know what you mean to me.
