Retirement





Not sure where all the time has gone. School year started with me still teaching my online US History class. We met family for a week at Yellowstone National Park in early September and now late September has our kitchen torn up waiting for sub-contractors so I begin the finishing process.

This was our fourth trip to Yellowstone, first time after school year has begun and the park always amazes me. There is so much to study and education examples abound. Questions of the how, when, and why, nature kept running through my mind. I understand the science behind the "millions of years" for some of the canyons to form and then you read about the floods in Colorado, which occurred just as we were leaving YNP, and you wonder if really understand geologic time. Seems a flood can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time.
