5/23/14

We decided to take a break, enjoy a beautiful day at the lake, do some planning, and relax a bit.  I sat at the picnic table overlooking Flathead Lake, in the shade, and enjoyed the day & the view, while Barb read a book.  I also planned our trips for next week.  We are moving 2 hours south on Tuesday. The weekend mob started moving in later in the afternoon, which is always a source of entertainment. Lots of equipment that isn't very well cared for, 6 bikes strapped on the back, and kids with their first chance to go swimming (I checked, the water is 54 degrees...brrr).  I also made a grocery run, which was also entertaining, lots of folks stocking up for the 3 day weekend.

But the highlight of the day?  My sister Peggy went home from the hospital after a 10 day stay that was very touch & go.  I called her and talked to her for about 10 minutes.  What a miracle.  We are so happy she made it through this crisis, but are also well aware that the next one could be the last one, which would be very sad.  We continue to get further away, so that makes for a lot of consternation. We hope all goes well in the near future.

We BBQ'd steaks on the grill to end our day.  We have lots of fun stuff planned, so stay tuned...
