Jody, Jay and Ashley came from Butte. On the 3rd
we attended Aunt Pearl’s 100th

Denita, Steve, Tyler, Shay and Dad came to Great Falls for a doctor
appt for Tyler. We all had dinner at Howard’s Pizza.
On

it was time to leave for another FMCA Rally in Ennis. The next day
we drove to West Yellowstone and into the park a short ways. On Sat.
we drove to Virginia City and Nevada City. We had another great
rally visiting with everyone. We drove back home on Sunday. On Monday the 12th we attended a memorial service for our condo neighbor Bev Knoll. Tues. Dixie drove to Havre to pick up Dad. Denita and Steve brought him to there. We had lunch at Uncle Joes and drove back to Great Falls. That evening we had dinner at the house and then went to Gibson park to listen to the municipal band.
Dad had an appt. with Dr. Williams on Wed. as well as a couple of therapy appts. On the 15th we attended our condo association and picnic. After that we picked up Dad and went to Alive @ 5. Friday we went to the Stock Car Races. Saturday we made dinner @ Dads. Sunday was church and breakfast out. The 20th was a visit to Dr. Pike for a follow-up on his shoulder. Wed. night was music at Gibson park and Thurs. after Dad was here for dinner we walked to the park for the last Alive @5....We seem to stay quite busy entertaining Dad!!!.
Denita & Levi came that evening (22nd). On Fri. Dad, Levi, Denita and I left for Missoula. We left Dad with Aunt Shirley at Clearwater Junction and we continued to Missoula. We spent the afternoon helping Levi move his stuff into his dorm room ~ it's amazing how much stuff you can get into a small room! We had lunch at McKenzie River and dinner at the Mustard Seed. Sat. we shopped a bit, had lunch at Red Robin and dinner at the Missoula Club. John Anderson was working at the Mo Club so we went in to see him....it was extremely busy since the “Root Festival' was going on the street outside. We left early Sun. morning and drove to Seeley Lake to pick up Dad. We said hi to Shirley and Jay and left for Great Falls. Dad went with Denita to the farm.
We spent the last week doing the normal stuff. We took in the last music night at the Library Park. Mike took the motorhome in to have the noise in the jacks checked out ~ of course it has to be the motor that is going bad. Guess that will get fixed before we head south. I ordered glasses online but they didn't fit too well. After having them adjusted 4 times I sent them back to have them checked out. The pressure sore on the nose just hurt too much. I am now waiting to hear from them and will most likely order a different pair....the downside to ordering online ~ you can't try them on. The price is definitely the upside!!!! Another summer month is gone!!!
