I am partial to sunlit clouds and think of them as direct communication from God&#8230;some people think rainbows, a past church acquaintance thought streetlights that flickered out&#8230; anyway, for me, it is sunlit clouds.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t actually get a detailed message, I just feel the connection and the peace.<\/p>\n<p>The Wal-Mart run was brief and successful.<\/p>\n<p>The drive to the house was mixed, but interesting and ultimately pretty but I never saw the house.  Google Maps Navigation has been wonderful, except for this route and I finally gave up and headed for the breakfast spot &#8211; arriving about 8:40 and it was getting warm and no shade parking so we came home.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, Tuesday, the plan was &#8220;Steve&#8217;s Cafe&#8221; &#8211; highly rated.  It WAS very good and shade parking, although I was there about 7:30 &#8211; still, I felt better about leaving Bear in the Jeep and I had a table where I could see him.  <\/p>\n<p>I also fueled the Jeep and scouted the Costco parking lot for a hoped for 10:00 a.m. run&#8230;that all worked also.<\/p>\n<p>Wild Thing is loaded.  Neither Bear nor I will go hungry.  Tomorrow morning we head back to Great Falls.  No, I have no explanation, it is just what I want to do.  I think we&#8217;ll head home on Saturday, but all plans are subject to change. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug13\/Sunrise2649.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug13\/Sunrise2649.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This morning, as we headed to breakfast&#8230;a red sunrise and again, sunlit clouds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been up early &#8211; even earlier than my norm.
