As many of you know my sister's name was Walletta which means laughing waters! Had to have a picture of that. This last one is neat with the tepee as part of the picture.
We spent most of the day at Crazy Horse. What an incredible place. All Natives get in for free because the monument is dedicated to all tribes. The work has been on-going for 62 years. It is all done through donations. No government money has been used. The sculptor, Korczak Ziolkowski (from Boston), was asked to show that Indians had heroes also. He and his wife and 7 of his 10 children have worked for all these years. He died before the completion of the nine-story high face. His wife, Ruth, still lives there on the property and the original home that Korczak built for them is part of the museum display. There is no completion date, work is done year round but lightning, blizzards and other weather will stop work. This had such an impact on me. When we walked into the center I was just in awe, I stood and just stared all around me. Words can't begin to describe my emotions

The "Caution 23 yo cat sign" cracked me up. Owen kitty wants one...He's almost 14 and tired, too.
