Rising Sun Cabin, 1-night hole, spirit

An H and a B combined to make a livestock brand,
‘HB’. i asked Sally, Hugh Black’s daughter, if HB stood for Hugh Black. It does.

Walking out of St Mary Lodge after dinner, noticed an “upside down” brand on a lobby wooden table top. i spun the table around to take the photo (above).

The next day i randomly saw Sally and asked her about it.

i told her the letters were upside down when i spotted them.

And then i showed her the photo above.

She revealed that the brand is the ‘Lazy HB’. The letters should lay sideways to be technically correct.

By the way, Hugh Black, Sally’s dad, founded the St Mary Lodge in the 1920’s.

Day 7 St Mary, Triple Divide, spirit

small motel room
During Covid in 2020, spent seven weeks here. Originally planned on only two weeks.

When we have all our Glacier Cabin window blinds up, i told Cheryl it reminds me of our first home.

In 1985 we moved into a brand new 1,100 square-foot home with three bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen and great room. We also had an attached one-car garage where our washer and dryer sat.

We owned some pots and pans, clothes, and two directors chairs that we unofficially requisitioned from WSU.

We had no table, no furniture, no bed, no curtains.

It’s the no curtains part that this post is referencing.

At night with the lights on, you can’t see out, but anyone can see everything inside your home. Classic fishbowl reality.

Day 5 St Mary, Triple Divide, spirit

Mountains
Humbly, i love that i never doctor or enhance any of my photos. Ever.

Want to blow your mind?

Want to have fun?

Want to grow beyond your wildest dreams?

Believe and practice things you (and most) don’t believe or practice, all day, everyday.

Day 4 St Mary, Triple Divide, spirit

peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich
From our honeymoon bicycle trip across Washington State. So grateful for a loaf of bread, a tub of peanut butter, and some leftover campfire marshmallows. Cut the marshmallows in half to make them ‘go twice as far’.

In everything give thanks.

So common that few hear it anymore.

And this reality inspires me to be an outlier.

In everything give thanks.

How can i not?

(Perhaps that is my only acceptable ‘impossible’: it is impossible for me to not give thanks in everything.)
