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.
