A Fine Summer Day

We continued to have thunderstorms into the night last night with loud thunder and lots of rain—right at an inch of rain which is great for Montana this time of year.  We took a walk down the driveway as everywhere else was just too muddy.

Michael worked on his stove projects and moved some more hay in preparation for loading the semi again in the morning early.

I finished up a baby quilt for a certain first grandchild and got the quilt loaded onto the longarm for quilting tomorrow. 

It was so pleasant at lunchtime we enjoyed lunch out on the deck.  Emmi and I played a couple games of soccer this afternoon—trying to tire her out so she would behave herself while we went to Lonn and LoraLee’s. 

One of the couples who have lived in the neighborhood for several years working on one of the larger ranches is moving back to Texas.  Lonn and LoraLee gave a going away party for them this evening.  Lots of friends and neighbors with great food.  We got to see Bill and Myrna our friends who live here in the summer and Alamos, Sonora, Mexico in the winter.  A few winters ago Mike and I spent over two months in Alamos and had a ball—the weather was just perfect.  It was great to visit with them and find out all the gossip about the people we met in Alamos. 

After the party as we were driving home I noticed two horses standing right by the road very attentive to something up on the hill—a bear!!!  The highlight of our day!
