'Tis the season!

The holidays are just around the corner. From the frosty pumkins of Halloween.....to to the warm pumpkin pie of Thanksgiving...and the glimmer of the Christmas season. It's all enough to make even "Frosty" raise his hands in joy. We suspect grandchildren may have been the inspiration for this piece of workmanship -- or perhaps it was just a youthful adult at the Donat residence. In any event, it helped bring a few happy smiles to the neighborhood!

You're invited!

All Yellowstone Place Association neighbors are invited to a New Year's Open House from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 11, 2009 at Karen and Larry Miller’s home. Former YPA neighbors are invited to join us, too, in celebration of the New Year! There’ll be snacks, drinks, and other munchies – including some delightful desserts! Of course, the greatest joy will be the fellowship of good neighbors. The Millers live at 309 Yellowstone Place. No RSVP is required, just come and join us for an informal neighborhood gathering!

Winter-like weather arrives

Two feet of snow blown by strong winds last week didn't keep these kids from basking in the sunshine on Sunday (11/9) behind Dorothy Gugel's home.

Unlike our brethren up in Lead and Deadwood, where they picked up four feet of snow and more, we measured only about 24 inches -- most of it coming last Friday (11/7). A bit of it had melted by Sunday, but as you can sort of see above, the drifted and plowed snow still left lots of snow on the landscape.

~Note: be watching for the newest edition of the printed Geyser newsletter later this month. And don't forget the Trumpet Invasion concert this Tuesday evening (11/11) in Belle Fourche. Click here for details!
