That's alot of people! WOW! I thought we were packed this year. We had a lot of people here but not that many. Our storms weren't to bad, mostly just heavy rain and alot of lightning and wind. In Billings lastnight, I just heard on the news, when the storm went thru, lightning hit a man and his sister and two kids. He died at the scene, but everyone else is okay. Poor people, my heart goes out to them.
On a much happier note, our 3rd and 4th was awesome. No major accidents, or anything. The night of the 3rd the Skylighters put on a spectacular firework show!! The firework show started at 10:30p.m. and lasted for an hour. It was really cool. Tonight we have another show at the end of Main Street, I can't wait.
Anyways, I think everything else is going good. Weather has been cooperating somewhat and no major headaches to worry about yet. (Knock on wood!) Anyways, I better get off of here and get dinner going so you have a great evening, and I will talk to you soon.
Take Care and Stay Safe!
Your Friend,
Nikki

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. Been busy with school and had a family reunion, etc and haven't had much time to do anything lately. Now, things are slowing down and my kids are getting excited for school to start on the 26th! I don't know who is more excited, me or them! Anyways how are you and everyone else doing? Not much here going on. I got pictures to send, but I have to find my cable for my phone first. Fire deadon up here has been extremely slow! It's been so wet that we haven't gotten anything. However, BLM says we are going to get it yet. I still say also that we will have a fire yet. It's just a late start. They are calling for our fire season to go all the way into December this year. If anyone is still hiring, let me know and how to get ahold of them and I will apply! But I got toget going, and get my homework done. This is my finals week the end of the 9 week for these two classes then, I start two more on the 31st. Thank God it is almost over. Anyways, you take care and stay safe and tell everyone hello for me.
Take Care and Stay Safe!
your Friend,
Nikki
