*smiles happily* I just received two emails from the two people that I really enjoy getting emails from! I'm in heaven!

We went to the Whitman Mission today with my Grandmother. She's visiting from Butte and we decided to take her to a historic landmark. Having never gone there before, it was a new experience for us as well. They had a little display and a 10 minute movie in the Visitor's Center. That was interesting. I never really have studied them much so I didn't know the story very well. After watching the movie, we went and looked at the mission. There aren't any buildings, they disappeared a long time ago. However, they have the outlines of the buildings laid out and a very nice lawn planted. It's rather interesting how a place of such tradgedy can be turned into such a peaceful place. One of these days I might actually take a book out there and sit on the lawn for awhile. Very cool place.
