Hi Joy,

It sounds like everything is going well for you, other than having
Matilda, and I am glad to hear that. My heart always leaps at this time of
year when anyone mentions Yellowstone. I visit often, and cannot wait till
opening day in early April. Yes, but all means, go there before Memorial
Day, but OTOH, even over that holiday, it is not very crowded, and the
weather is usually fantastic. I usually get there two or three times right
up until Memorial Day Weekend. Its not until the end of June that crowds
get to be a burden. Even in early June, you can get snowed on really good.
Trust me on that one, personally :-)

I hope you get to visit, and I hope  you enjoy it. If you see a slightly
faded yellow 81 air cooled cruising around, give a shout or a wave, as I
doubt there would be two of them there at the same time. <g>
