Billings Day 2: a work day
We started early this Monday morning.
Auggie is more comfortable every day. For the first time, he slept with me as normal. Prior, he would come and snuggle briefly and then go out under the recliner and repeat. And the last 2 mornings, he’s napped in the recliner after getting up. I’m very happy with how he is doing on his way to being an RV cat!
Coffee!
After sunrise, a morning walk with Bear and then breakfast for all, before both Bear and Auggie took up watch from the dash.
The morning meeting, scheduled for 1 hour went 3 1/2 hours. Blech!
After, Bear and I took a Jeep ride to the absolute worst WalMart Super Center I’ve ever been to. Dirty, not well stocked – a mess! I got the few things I wanted and we came home. I’m not a fan of Billings which doesn’t seem to have much going for it “in town”. The surrounding rural countryside is beautiful, though.
Late afternoon, a fresh batch of ginger syrup for my ginger soda was made.
Bear and I went for a walk to the river on the park’s nature trail (see Instagram photos).
A bit more work and then as the sun started down…
…the low sun lit the gold hued trees.
Spectacular light!
We sit in a very pretty spot.
David Lebovitz’s Fresh Corn Soup for supper.
The plan for tomorrow is to roll by 8:00 a.m. latest for Casper, WY. I’ll try to get going a bit earlier as I need to stop for gas fairly soon and it has been very windy between Billings and Casper (typical), but it is supposed to be not too bad tomorrow. At any rate, the earlier we get going and get to Casper, the better. Hopefully arrival is 1:30-2:00 p.m. and I will work in the afternoon.

Those trees in the evening light are spectacular! I, too, like the Instagram photos – we get lots of pictures!
It’s so nice to see Auggie starting to feel at home and I think you are right about just immersing him in it. If he had decided he hated it after a short drive or two, that would have been difficult. Now he is just getting used to it. Have you taken him outside yet?
Auggie was sniffing at the door so we tried an outing, but it was windy and a lot of leaves blowing, plus a strange place – he was back in the motorhome immediately. I took him out in my arms a few times and he was curious, but didn’t try to get down. He runs around inside: up and over and under EVERYTHING! And he plays with his toys.
Love the “light” photos…especially the first one with the contrasting dark clouds and sun topped trees. We still don’t have a lot of color here, but we do have the beautiful autumn light and 75 degrees at nearly 1 am.
