I Think We Are Ready

It was a stormy day here with the wind and rain finally cooling the temps down.  We took along buckets on our walk this morning and picked chokecherries—I have one of those Nutri-Steamers and it makes short work of juicing fruit.  The juice is in the freezer all ready for me to make jam when we get back.

The motorhome is sitting in the driveway with the bumble bee jeep attached, all loaded and ready to go, I think!  We went into town this afternoon to do some banking business and visit Nat before we take off tomorrow.

Saturday my friends and I drove into Big Timber, did a little shopping then headed over to Livingston and did some more shopping.  We had a great lunch at the Rib and Chop, laughed ourselves silly and headed home.  We had to get ready for our party.

Some of my Montana friends—Jeane, Jill and Nancy came for dinner Saturday night.  We enjoyed a great “girly” menu out on the deck with candlelight—a very enjoyable evening to say the least! 

Sunday morning it was time to pack up and head to the airport.  The plan was to somehow cram all of us and the luggage into the jeep, drive to Big Timber and borrow Nat’s truck to get us to the airport.  When I walked into the house from the motorhome Sunday morning and saw all their luggage sitting there I realized that plan wasn’t going to work!  Nancy had offered the night before to loan us her Expedition—which is what we did.  Her rig is brand new and is way smarter than me, a pleasure to drive. 

It was just such a special weekend getting to see my girlfriends and show them our place and Montana.   

Bright and early tomorrow morning we are heading for Coeur d Alene, ID and the Elks Lodge.  We will be having dinner with our good friends Gene and Mary.  Blog posting may be sporadic as we will have no internet once entering Canada on Friday.
