 We have returned from our venture out to Montana for Daltons graduation. We left on May 19th in the rain and it rained for most of the time. Something different this spring I guess. :( . Anyway, I was great to see Eric's family. We took the camper and that was great to have at erics as he had a houseful.  Heathers brother Clint and his family were there along with Breanna and her boyfriend Markel. It was a busy week out there. Wade and Dalton spent quite a bit of time in the camper with us as did Eric. Wade has gotten sooo tall since last August. He towers over me now. Much to his pleasure!
We had a couple of accidents with the camper. One was the hatch got caught on slide when we were bringing it in and it bent the hatch and the slideout. Tom and Eric managed to fix it for the most part. Then coming home we had a blow out on the passenger side front tire of the camper. Tore the crap out of the siding, bent the slideout  and tore up the insulation. So, after 2 hours and calling Triple A we finally had the spare on. Of course it was 93 degrees the day of the blowout and the highway was hot and busy with traffic. We got 4 new good year endurance tires put on in Fargo ND at Schmacher tires. I feel more comfortable about the tires now. These are made in the USA! Now we have to have more repairs done...Don't even have the last ones taken care of yet.  I washed the camper this week as it was filthy with road dirt and BUGS! Hopefully, this will be the last of the repairs for a while....
Campground owner brett doesn't want us doing to much work any longer, only when he asks. He doesn't want us putting in too much more time. Ok by me. I have been extremely busy this week.

Damage from blowout.

I got together yesterday with some old high school friends. Deb, Denise and Barb. We went for lunch and had a great time catching up. Tom and Ginny Miller stopped by this week also and had Supper with us. Bob and Mary Horton have been at their daughters this week dog sitting so we have been able to get back into our happy hours in the afternoon. Todd and Beth are at Eagles Ridge campground in Chippewa for the month and they came on sunday for dinner along with my mom.
The garden is doing pretty well. The weeds especially are doing very well.  The weather has finally warmed up and lots of sunshine..Finally!.
