A Good Day

Tuesday Michael had a routine doctors appointment in Billings—some days we wonder if we should just move to Billings!  We enjoyed lunch at Jake’s, made a really quick (cheap) stop at Costco and were back at Nat’s by 2pm—pretty good for us!  Our stop at Petsmart for dog food/toys/treats made us think the dog eats better than we do—geez!! 

Wednesday Michael was off to town hoping to finish Nat’s shower project—he was successful!  I stayed home and finished a quilt for Jeane—it is absolutely stunning if I do say so myself! 

The UPS man brought me a mystery package this afternoon—beautiful flowers—but no card.  When I called the company they refused to divulge the sender’s name.  My Mom called later in the afternoon and I asked her if she had by any chance sent me flowers—“no, but I know who did.”  Chuck sent them to me as a thank you for being in Arkansas with he and Mom during his illness.  Made my heart feel good!—and it didn’t hurt they arrived on my birthday!

A chilly morning turned into a windy but beautiful day.This time of year we usually see lots of bear scat loaded with these chokecherry seeds—we had a bumper crop of chokecherries this year and have seen not one bear and only one pile of poop—what’s up with that??

Lots of birthday phone calls, Facebook messages and cards—it’s not so bad to be one year older and one year closer to social security!
