OF HOLIDAY PICS
1.4.00 This Christmas, T. and I took a holiday at my parents' house. Here's a smattering of pictures. Apologies for the hefty download.
Oz wears a Christmas bow.
The view out of our bedroom window in my parents' house. How serene is that?
That stuffed animal in the background was mine from when I was a kid. I called him Hunker because he was big and "hunked up the bed." I used to be able to sit in his lap. Over the years, he's gotten smaller.
T. and I got sleeping bags from my folks for Christmas. I am very excited.
We went snow-shoeing, except there wasn't enough snow on the ground to warrant them so we ended up just shoeing. This is the view to the North from a knob on Battle Ridge.
Me and Eric. For New Year's we hung around the house and watched the various explosions across the world on the teevee. We drank a great bottle of champagne and then went out and shot off fireworks.
Here's the unedited text from the back of a postcard we purchased: In 1982, a few hundred people gathered at the ROCK CREEK LODGE for the 1st annual "TESTICLE FESTIVAL." In 1992, thousands attended the 10th annual anniversary celebration, consuming over 2,400 lbs. of "Rocky Mountain Oysters." After, this first decade, 5 1/2 tons of the "Montana Tendergroin" had been served! To commemorate this milestone, owner and creator Rod Lincoln commissioned this sculpture. "OL' TESTY" is full-size, weighting nearly 900 lbs. You would be "TESTY" too, if you were about to be castrated! The "TESTICLE FESTIVAL," is held each year in early autumn. This western tradition of fun, frolic, and food (-and beverage!) has become the largest party of its kind in the world. Everyone "has a BALL!" The ROCK CREEK LODGE also features a salon, casino, food motel, gift shop, gas, and camping. For further info: ROCK CREEK LODGE, I-90 / Exit 126, Box 835, Clinton, MT 59825. (406) 825-4868. Click to view the mascot, Ol Testy, and see some stats (24k). What you can't see in that picture are the gigantic balls a-swaying underneath. I am not linking to the Testicle Festival official site. æ |
