This morning was a hoot. There was a lot to be done -packing, cleaning, eating, loading, moving vehicles. Of course the puzzle was still there, and I did manage to add a piece or two, but there was no time to spend on that. I managed to warm up the last blueberry muffin for breakfast.
It all came together somehow, and Julie and I went to Regis for breakfast. We had said goodbyes to Jane, Orie and Carolyn, but the guys were still AWOL. Our breakfast was great again. I had French toast with fried bananas. Very yummy.
We went to the T-shirt store and Julie purchased 3 shirts and a whistle – the shirts were printed as we waited. I found it a very interesting process, and after Julie explained the stencil to me it was even more interesting.
Then we went looking for the Hawkin’s rental house, only knowing that it was in the vicinity of the vet. We found it! And everyone was there – so we said Aloha to all and headed for Bozeman.
The drive to Bozeman was good. First of all the road construction which had been causing long delays did not cause us any delay. In fact there was no delay in either direction. And once we got on the interstate the sky became more and more interesting. There were storms all around. We went through two or three, and some pretty heavy downpours, but thank goodness we had no hail. I drove the whole way without a problem, and we found the house with no aids.
Jan was home to greet us, and give us the great news that they have purchased a home in Scottsdale (!) not very far from us. We knew they had been looking, but this was the first we knew of an actual purchase. This is super. And based on the pictures and description the place is really nice. Can’t wait to see it!
We sat around and chatted for a while, and Cap got home from work – and since it was 5 o’clock somewhere we had a drink. Or two. With lots of good conversation. And I gave Cap a little help with grilling the corn – we had a good time doing the grilling.
The meal was wonderful, and I’m still stuffed. I had a hamburger along with an ear of corn. The hamburger was huge. I really had to struggle to clean my plate, but I wanted to because the food was excellent.
As we sat at the table after dinner sipping wine we got to talking about coffee making. The result of that conversation was that on the spot I ordered a coffee maker and a grinder – $500+. I’m thinking/hoping that it’s as good as advertised. I’m pretty sure it will be because of Cap’s recommendation. He has spent the time checking it all out, and I’m just taking advantage of that work. Amazon will have it to our house before we get there.
And that’s the evening. And the day. A really nice day, again.
