Memories on a Monday Morning-Mount Rushmore


Today is Ground Hog Day and we're halfway to spring. Forty plus days to the rebirth of another 'greening of the earth' year. But, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy today, even if the little 'pot gut' as my husband calls them, did see his shadow. Yeah! Halfway is a good thing, because the next day is more than half, even almost there.

So what does that have to do with Mount Rushmore? It's an amazing place, you should visit. When our family walked from the visitor's center looking up, the presidential reliefs came into our view, taking our breaths away. This awesome monument to leaders, let's us know we can do anything against all odds. The artists & the driving force behind creating such a great carving, had an uphill battle from the get go. At least that's what I remember from the tours.

On this same trip, we went to the Badlands of South Dakota. Somewhere amongst those hills was a ground hog heaven set aside for these little guys. We enjoyed taking pictures of heads popping up and down having so much fun with them. Visit both.
Most of all remember, you are halfway there. You can do it!
