Keep Missoula Weird? Do my part? Seeing that we have moved to beautiful Missoula (pronounced Mi-ZOO-luh), Montana and my precious Dad and Mom-in-Law are here visiting for the very first time, we wanted to show them the best of Missoula! We had a lovely day driving through the city, seeing the large white bed and breakfast mansion off Higgins, walking through the shops downtown, warming up with coffee around Starbuck's indoor couch setting, visiting Missoula's own hand-carved Carousal, and adjoining play area (very much like McKinley Park in downtown Sac). It was great! On the way home, the men dropped Grammy, Rachel, and I off at our local grocery store for a few last minute Thanksgiving items. As we chatted and wandered through the produce section an older woman and her friend made a joke about us "chickens" to please move out of her way. Chickens? She laughed...and we smiled in return, not sure what was really funny. Just a few moments later I heard the woman call my mother-in-law over to her... I intently focused on the turnips. After some moments of whispering, a very horrified and red-faced Grammy returned quickly to us while the woman smiled strangely and waved her hands in the air. The woman had called my sweet mother-in-law over to her to tell her a dirty joke! We couldn't believe it! More on Missoula's uniqueness to come!
