More from Montana

Jul 10 Tue … We went to the Verizon store in Great Falls and got a new cell phone. It was time for our ‘new every two’! Spent the rest of the day around the house visiting with Danny and Lexi & Mom & Dad.
Jul 9 Mon … Said our goodbyes to Steve and Denita and the kids and headed to Havre, a drive of about 72 miles. Dixie had two yearly Dr. appointments and we both had dental appointments that afternoon. After stopping at the “Lunch Box” we continued our trip to Great Falls where Dixie’s parents live. We plan to be here until Thursday when we take a flight to Seattle to visit Micheala and family.
Jul 8 Sun … Back to Turner for an outdoor church service. After that was a parade again in “downtown”. It featured floats, classic cars and restored farm and ranch equipment. Dixie wore a Hogeland Hawk cheerleader uniform from the 60’s while ridding a float. Our nephew, Levi had an accident while riding on a four wheeler and had to go to the emergency room in Havre to have a stitch in his head and several bad scraps cleaned up. He was very lucky.
Jul 7 Sat … This was the evening of the All School Reunion Banquet and Dance held in a very large tent in Turner, Mt. It was quite entertaining with a “fashion” show, awards, etc. The food was catered and was very good as well. We didn’t hang around to hear much of the band play a mix of Country and 70’s – 80’s rock-n-roll. It had been a long day, starting with the Breakfast and registration.
Jul 6 Fri … This morning, we walked from Hogeland to the farm house; a distance of about 1 ½ miles. We then spent most of the day visiting with family and friends. Tonight we got together with some of Dixie’s schoolmates in Turner. We were visiting friends outside in Turner when a strong thunder storm with lighting and wind blew in. We all ran for cover.
Jul 5 Thurs … This morning, we drove about 50 miles to the town of Chinook so that Dixie could go to the clinic to see a Dr. for the allergy problems she is having. Before the clinic visit, we stopped by the court house to renew our automobile license for another year. Later that evening, Dixie’s brother Doug and wife Fran, had us and several friends and family, over to their house for dinner. We were able to eat outside and except for a few flies, it was very nice. Since Dixie’s Mom and Dad are now “at the farm” we are now staying at Doug and Fran’s house. Many family and friends are “in town” for the Turner, MT all school reunion going on this weekend.
Jul 4 Wed … INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! Dixie’s sister Denita made two excellent kinds of pizza this evening. Steve and the kids lit firecrackers after it finally got dark enough. Up here, it’s not totally dark until about 10:30 p.m.
Jul 3 Tue … Dixie rode the riding lawnmower all day mowing around the farm. Mike did lots of trimming.
Jul 2 Mon … Hogeland clean-up day because of the all school reunion coming this weekend. Mike used the weed-hog trimmer most of the day. Dixie stayed home with Shay. That evening, a “thank you” dinner of hamburgers and hot dogs was held at the local fire station.
