Livingston, Mt….. A little slice of heaven

Howdee all,

We arrived in Livingston a few days ago.

My sister lives here with her family. Livingston is one of my favorite small towns.

You can walk and bike to everything. Wonderful restaurants, coffee shops, Dan Baileys fly fishing shop, health food store and more.

Here we are arriving..before we moved Homey to our spot in front of Sickstas home.livingston_20090819_001

Ahhh….the view from my Sickstas decklivingston_20090819_002

A view from our Homey..How cool is this!

The small footbridge leads to the park…with swimming pool, tennis courts, ball fields, small creek, pond…and over that last tree line…The Yellowstone River.livingston_20090819_006

Sicksta Charlene and I biked to the farmers market in the Park.

  2. That place is beautiful! They'd have to hand me my suitcase and push me out the door to leave that view.

    Sometime would you make us a score card of your sisters' locations and how the heck they got so scattered?! I picture everyone piling in the Homey for a cross country drive and whenever someone got cranky, they got shoved out on the spot. :)

    Gorgeous place to be shoved!

  6. Your sister must love living in such a beautiful place. I can't help but wonder if they have a lot of snow?
