Delivering Pastries ~ 2013

 
A copper smelter pot outside Anaconda at a rest stop.



 
Just south of Conrad there was interesting weather on the horizon...

 
just this dark line of something up ahead?
But as Adam drove into it finally, it was a lot of dust blowing and then a little rain shower. Very curious from a distance.

 
And it was cold that day!

 
On Facebook this year, Adam posted pictures of places he delivered to with the pickup truck.

 
Going to the Powell, WY delivery, Adam got into a ground blizzard. He couldn't even really see the road and it seemed to be moving with all of the snow. But upon taking a picture, it was simply one still frame of it all and doesn't look like much!

 On the way home it was a full blizzard shortly after this! Frigid.

 
Hilger!

 
The Canadian geese ready to head south. Down to Plattsmouth, for part of the journey, we always joke! The Platte River sure got their share of them!!


 
So many great things to see along the way! Makes driving fun.

 
On the way to a delivery in West Yellowstone.


 
Still such a sight for sore eyes for this western Montana boy who was almost 8 years out of state!



 
On the way home leaving the park.


 
This picture doesn't do it justice, but just as they popped out of the mountains, Adam and Matthew saw a fantastic sunset on the Bridgers.

 
A large heard of elk on another trip!


 
Success N Fundraising has a fun rapport with their account manager, Bob, at headquarters in Iowa. So for Christmas, Adam decided to give a little polite ribbing saying, "Since I don't know everyone very well at Country Maid, I decided to give a gift based on our relationship with Bob!" The box of 'stress relieving' coal squeezies went over well!
 
 
Back home, enjoying fresh coconut!

 
Matthew really got to singing and playing his own tune on this! He's pretty serious about it and it is so cute! Though he preferred no pictures by the time we got around to it. But dear Kaitlyn is always ready to oblige : )

 
Daddy's homemade ice cream!
 
 
In the office on the computer.

 Loading up at the freezer to go to Red Lodge. What a beautiful job!

The clock is ticking - Adam goes quick! Always on time for the drop off appointment.

Not every delivery is big.

Watching the sunrise coming up more over the Bridger's as we head out of Bozeman.


 
The Crazy Mountains outside of Big Timber.
Mom suggested that I go with Adam on this delivery! She is at our house waiting for the kids to wake up. Unfortunately, groggy Kaitlyn doesn't remember the plan. Probably won't do this again : )
 
 
We drop them off at a church and Adam politely asks if they want help sorting the pastries out to each person that sold them? Of course!
So the woman reads off the flavors for each person and she and I watch amazed at how fast Adam quickly moves them around and finishes the job for her! Nice letting the professionals do it : )


 On the way back home we take the scenic route, off the interstate and past Absarokee. It is a beautiful blanket of snow!




 Even saw some cute turkeys running along the fence. We stopped and listened and they were very 'talkative!'
Back through the Bridgers. Such common sites for everyone here, but still so new and fresh to us!
