Summer Time!

Manitoba is in the middle of a great summer - hot and sunny after all the rain we got in the beginning.

We just got back from holidays - today is our first day back so we are getting limbered up after our rest and relaxation. Everyone here had a nice vacation. I went on a road trip to Montana. It is a beautiful state with lots to see. We got as far as Yellowstone and saw Old Faithful erupt - very cool. The people are wonderful too - very friendly. I can highly recommend the trip. Glacier National Park is supposed to be spectacular, but we will have to return to see that in the future.

We stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast in Glendive Montana on the way home. It is an 8000 square foot mansion over 100 years old that has been beautifully restored. It is a step into the past, but all mod cons - air conditioning, wifi, etc.

is the website and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling in that area.

Bed and breakfasts offer an inviting home away from home when you are traveling and you meet new and fascinating people much more than you would staying in a hotel. I am definitely going to stay in more B n B's in the future. I can hardly wait until my next road trip.

So get out there and enjoy the rest of the summer - still lots left. In the meantime, while you are relaxing, do not take a vacation from the toothbrush. It is easy to let things slide during the summer months, but you want to keep your teeth healthy and your orthodontic treatment on track.
