Catch up

We spent most of the summer at the cabin. I came home for 5 days and it was cold and grey and so I went right back. I have a million pictures of the deer, the grandkids, the lakes, the boat, the Libby Dam, the quilt show, the visits, the cabin, the bonfires etc. We ate, swam, hiked, quaded, floated down the canal, ate Bubba burgers by the tons (voted best burger in U.S. by Regis and Kelly), shopped in Kalispell,played boche ball, sat and read, ate, ate, and ate again, went to Echo Lake to visit the Folsom's, had all the kids except Stacey visit, and read some more. The naps were great too. We had few accidents and only minor colds and everyone played till they dropped. Robert and I had a few quiet times but really enjoyed the time with the kids and grandkids. We were glad we took the fifth wheel down as we used it quite a bit for extra sleeping space. It was hard to come home but I'm glad we did. During our last few days at the cabin near the end of the summer, Peanut died. (our dog of 13 years). Poor Andrea called and asked to talk to Robert about banking stuff and told him the news so he could prepare me before we got home. It was pretty sad, she was my best friend next to Robert and the kids. Well actually she was my best friend. Always there for me. At the end of the summer I actually stayed there and cleaned up and napped and read for a few days by myself. It was heavenly.

My Pal

Peanut

Peanut and Sam helping me get firewood
We were lucky 13 years ago to get a puppy from a friend. Jason named her Peanut as she was the only puppy born to her Mom and she was small. We have had lots of good times with her. She could run like the wind and barked if anyone came near the farm. Well except for the night the native guy came into the house when we were sleeping and robbed us. Well that's another story. She dislikes the water and won't ride in a vehicle unless it is thundering and then you can't get her out. She is good at killing gophers and bringing them home to show them off. Peanut is an outside dog. She sleeps in the garage in a little basket. We never talk about her getting old because it is scarey. We watched Marley and Me and both cried at the end. She has a new friend on the farm the neighbours have a black lab pup and he keeps her young. She makes me feel loved and is so glad to see me when I get home. The real dilemna is what will we do when she's gone.

Christine, Andrea, Erin, Sharon and Shirley in Waterton

I am so lucky to have two sisters and one brother. The two beautiful women in my blog picture are my sisters. The one on the right is Shirley and the one on the left is Sharon. The three of us got together this summer at my house and had a great time. The joke is that both Sharon and I promised poor Shirley pictures of the whole event and neither one of us has sent her any. We are bad. In fact when she saw the picure on my blog was the first time she has seen it. She lives in Vancouver and so does my brother Jamie. Sharon lives in Sault Ste Marie. We are lucky to have Shirley in our lives as she has been our second mother. Sadly our Mom died when I was 30 so she has taken over caring for us. We are really blessed.I want to share some of the pictures with you all. Michael is Sharon's husband and Erin is Sharon's daughter and Sean is her son. Jason is my son and Christine is his girlfriend. Don is Shirley's husband

Salt Lake City



I tried to take a family picture of Jason and his family but I need some practice. It's a good thing the subjects are so cute.




After the dinner we went to Stephen and Mandi's to see the renovations to their home and the dogs.






The next day we went to Madison's baptism. Here are some pictures of the people that attended. She had a great day as it was also her birthday and she had 2 parties..



We stayed at Jason and Candace's house and spent time with them and their children.

We went to the cabin Thursday night and spent the night there. It was so peaceful. On friday we drove to Kalispell Montana and flew to Salt Lake City on this.
