Off the Grid in the Montana Rockies

Time to Blog

Everyday I keep thinking that I need to come and update this site.  Everyday I am too busy.  Everyday I tell myself that I will do it tomorrow.  Everyday I put it off, until tonight.  So here I am.

Our daily life here has been full and lively.  My parents left for France on Friday.  They were supposed to be picked up by a limousine that never materialized, instead they had to settle for me.  I offered to put on a cabby hat and put up a sheet for a privacy screen, but they declined.  I hoped that wasn't a sign for the way the trip would go and thankfully I was wrong.  I have heard from them a few times and they truly are having the time of their lives.  My mom called me tonight from her hotel room and told me all about her room with a view-looking right at the Eiffel Tower and the L'Arc De Triumphe.

Over the weekend my cousin, grandma, brother, and sister-in-law all joined us for a weekend of food, fun, and a few work projects.  It made the weekend go by quickly and we had a ton of laughs.

On Sunday I took my grandma to Jamestown National Park.  She had read about the archaeological digging going on there and had to see it for herself.  So, with chicken salad sandwiches in hand we headed out and had a fun day.  Grandma is fragile and requires a lot of patience...patience that I tried to learn over the past couple of weeks being around her.  My hat goes off to people that work with the elderly on a daily basis-you all have a gift.

Today we took grandma to the airport and said goodbye.  The kids and I joined my brother and sister-in-law for a nice dinner out.  We sat out on the screened in porch and chatted late into the night.

Tomorrow we will all head out to Jamestown because there are some once in a lifetime viewings of the archaeological findings being shown this week.  I will blog more about that next time.

I am missing hubby desperately and not sure how I am going to make it through the next three weeks without him.  I have learned not to agree to anything in the middle of a long Montana winter.....my mental status is distorted.  Seriously, we are having a fun time and cherishing every moment with my family.
