We spent last Saturday in Big Timber, home of Tom Brokaw, Michael Keaton, and my friends Cindy and Cathy and their families. We spent our morning playing with Cindy and George's 4.5 month old baby, traveling south of town to see the home they'll be moving to in the fall, and hiking around the natural bridge that arches over the Boulder river. Their new place has a fruitful apple tree right in the backyard that has been known to attract bears. Later George gave us an educational tour of the fish hatchery where he works and to counter some of the "nature overload" we went shopping in downtown Big Timber.
Main street is pretty small town typical but they do have a few cool shops and boutiques. Emma's fav was the quilt shop, and in fact, that was the ONLY place I bought anything on my entire 8 day trip. I came home with two lovely fat quarters of fabric.
Later in the day we headed north of town to Cathy's ranch where we watched the wee cousins playing and enjoyed key lime squares and tea in her bright sunny kitchen. We strolled around the yard walking the dogs and kids, and I even tried out their paddleboat on the small pond in their yard.
While we didn't see any bears on this trip we did see, mule deer, antelope, hawks, rabbits, sheep, llamas and lesbian goats. The world is our zoo. Go Montana!
