Monday (8) Today we gathered up the laundry and went to town. After finishing up with laundry we went to the grocery store and back to the RV. We had lunch and put away the groceries. It was another hot day , so the afternoon was spent working puzzles and watching TV. I had to get some kids off the dock two different times. Sometimes they just don't cooperate. Tuesday (9) After doing the routine things we got some rocks off the dock and did a little weed eating. The remainder of the day was just putzing. It was overcast and the high was about 84°. After supper we walked down to the causeway to enjoy the nice evening.
Wednesday (10) Today we took the dogs and walked up around on the loop area after doing our chores. Later we drove to Ferndale and got ice cream. The dogs were so happy to have their own cup of ice cream. They are not spoiled! Then we returned through Bigfork and mailed some birthday and anniversary cards. A stop at the grocery store finished the trip. Supper was turkey bacon, eggs, toast and berries. It's so easy to fix and we enjoy it quite often.
These pictures are dark - but it is a little fort or tree stand up in the loop. It was here last year and is still here.
Thursday (11) This was a pretty blah day. In fact not many people were here today. We enjoyed sitting outside in the peace and quiet. Friday (12) After we completed our routine chores we also picked up trash on the north beach. Then it was back inside for lunch. Steve got his remote control boat out and zipped it around in the lake. That was fun. The DNRC Fire Crew was here for a little while to be ready to respond to any new fires. I guess they just came to park and take a little break. I talked to them, but they didn't need anything. We went to town for pizza at Rosa's and when we got back there was a note on the door. It said some guys were having a fishing tournament, but would be out by 2 AM. It was fine - the fishermen are no problem.
Saturday (13) Today was trash clean-up day all around Montana. So the boat volunteers were here and picked up trash in places we don't check. I took their picture when they finished. Tony P was here about 11 AM and stayed about an hour. A wake board had turned up at our site and he found an address on it, so he found the place up on the loop and returned it. He was getting brownie points with the people who live on the loop. Today was busy but not crazy. The high was 89°. We put the TENS unit on Steve this afternoon - so his back would feel better. Sunday (14) Today was rough for me, because I had a lot of pain in my arms and shoulders. When we finished with the chores we made a run to Walmart for supplies. After we got home the lake was pretty busy. My pain finally resolved after I took a pain pill later in the day. I wonder if I had a pinched nerve giving me trouble. Monday (15) I woke up feeling much better today. We did all the routine things. About 9 AM my sister Pam called and said she got the cards we sent her for her birthday and their 60th anniversary. I called and made an appointment in Kalispell to get a steroid shot in my shoulder. I also called the VA for Steve an appointment with the pain management folks for when we return home.

Tuesday (16) Another regular day. We emptied our tanks (a weekly thing). In the evening we took a drive on Foothill Road and a little walk on DNRC land. At 10 PM there were no cars in the parking lot! That is very unusual. Wednesday (17) After chores, I sat outside with the dogs, while Steve played with his remote control boat. Later I worked on email. My laptop was not letting me access email. I got tired of messing with it and will try to figure out the problem. tomorrow. We did make a run into town to haul off the trash and pick up some groceries. Thursday(18) We didn't sleep too good last night but we were up at 8:30. We drug the hose over to clean the outdoor toilet. Also someone moved another curb stop - I guess these people can't figure out when to stop in those big pickups. Tony P was here and he has hired a seasonal worker. Her name is Sydney and he was getting her oriented to the job. They stayed about 30 minutes then had to get going. It was 94° at 5:15 PM. It's almost too hot to fish.

Friday (19) Today the bathroom was a bad mess. We had to drag the hose over again and and really clean it out good! Then we sat outside and enjoyed the rest of the morning. About 1:30 PM, Sydney came by and visited. I checked the dock and then stayed inside. It got hot again, 95° at 5:15. This has been a hot summer here in Montana. Saturday (20) After the chores were completed we hung outside in the shade. Tony P drove out but didn't get out of his pickup. Today we watched Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes on the old TV movie channel. It wasn't quite so hot and we had a little rainstorm later. Sunday (21) We made a drive into town to get a few groceries. then it was back to the RV for lunch. Our afternoon was occupied with TV, puzzles and a short nap. There were kids jumping of the dock - So I had to educate them about that. It was overcast by about 5:00 PM and people left a little early. I guess that sports have re-started and the Northwest State Fair has also been going on and our crowds have lessened.
