17th – We got our mail from Fran and the bank. Dixie worked in the morning and we drove back into Fontana for groceries in the afternoon.

From there we headed to Buster Sandy's where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner with them, Josh, Careece, Jorden, Abby and Sean. That evening we drove to Marge's in Riverside and overnight with her.
20th – HAPPY EASTER 2014. We started it off attending Hope Lutheran Church in Riverside with Marge, Shelly, Lexie (Aly) and Ryan. We had a nice brunch there afterwords. Danny joined us for dinner at Marge's. We had a wonderful afternoon eating and visiting!
21st - We decided to leave a day early due to weather – wind on Tue. and rain/snow. We got on the road around 845a. We ended up staying at the Walmart in Washington, UT just out of St. George (360miles). It was a good Walmart to stay at! We walked over to Home Depot and checked out a few house items.
22nd – Happy Birthday to sister, Denita! We woke up earlier (5am) so we got up around 6a and were on the road at 710a. Our intent was to just go 60 miles to Parowan and sit out the predicted wind. Once we were on the road we found that the wind wasn't bad and that the forecast had changed some. We ended up driving to a Passport park (Wasache View Estates) in Ogden (Farr West City actually). We made a stop at Ikea for a quick lunch and looked around there. We arrived at the park around 230p. Today’s drive was 342miles. The wind started blowing quite bit late afternoon and it rained all night long.
23rd – We woke up to snow in the mountains! We fueled up and were on the road at 8am.
Dixie drove today for an hour to give Mike a break – haven't done that in a while! It was a pretty drive today with the snow in all the mountains. There was quite a bit of snow around Monida pass, thankfully none on the roads. We detoured off I15 in Dillon and went to Twin Bridges and Whitehall – wanted to bypass Butte and the mountains! We decided to drive to the Helena Walmart today and overnight there (432 miles)....yes we were only 90 miles from Great Falls but we wanted to make a Lowes stop & didn't want to get into Great Falls late in the evening. We had dinner at Bert & Ernies after are shopping.
24th – Happy Birthday in Heaven Mom! We left Helena just after 8am and arrived in Great Falls at 10am. We unloaded the items we needed for the next 3 weeks in Great Falls and took the motorhome to storage.
25th
- 28th – We rode out to Hogeland with Doug/Fran. We
made a stop at the bank in Havre to sign out loan papers. We checked
out the remodeling projects at Doug/Fran's and Denita & Steve's.
We even helped Doug/Fran tile and grout their bathtub area. A first
experience for us. Turned out beautiful!
On
Sat. and Sun. we went to Turner to check out the house! All looks
good. We found that we will need a new bath vanity top as it is
cracked and the plumbing is not hooked up. We did decide to have new
windows and siding put in. We will contact Doug's contractor, Bob
the Builder! It rained over the weekend so it was a bit soggy
checking things out.We had to check out Tyler in his Tux as the prom was on Sat. evening! He looked awesome! We drove our car back on Monday. Doug/Fran drove back, pulling their motorcycle trailer.
29th – 30th...We helped Doug/Fran load up some of their furniture to take back to the farm. We checked out some items at Home Depot, furniture stores, etc. We made several phone calls, setting up service at the new house. Generally staying busy. Closing date is on for May 15th at 10am!
