Just got back a couple of hours ago. Had a wonderful time. DD didn't
like Yellowstone very much because it smelled funny :-) (I told her to
go back in 10 or 20 years and see how she likes it then.) But she
*really* liked Zion NP. It was hot in Colorado, and just as hot but
also humid in Zion... and *cold* at Yellowstone.

Now I gotta start selecting my best my jars for the Olmsted County Fair
on Monday and making sure the labels meet all the rules so I don't miss
out on that big purple ribbon.* I'm entering beef jerky (leftover from
the trip), dehydrated diced "Longhorn" peppers, hot pickled carrots,
tangarine marmalade, and crabapple jelly.

It's good to be me.

Best regards,
Bob

* I really think the only reason DD just got a blue ribbon instead of a
Grand Champion last year with her Mayhaw Jelly is because it didn't say
"BWB 10 minutes" on the label. (Or maybe the judge just never heard of
a mayhaw before and was afraid to taste it)
