August 22 - August 31, 2022 Finishing Up August and Celebrating My Birthday!

 Monday (22) We had hair appointments for today, but Melissa called and hd to change the appointment. The water was shut off at the shop because of remodeling. I made a few other calls to take care of business and that was the highlight of the day. Tuesday (23) We were up a little late today. We got around and dressed. We did not do any chores today - because everything was fine. We loaded up the laundry and went to town. We were back to the RV about 1:00 and had lunch. This evening we walked to the stop sign for a second walk.

I need a haircut!

Wednesday (24) Today after we finished our walk the electricity was off. We did the chores and then the electricity came back on about 11:00 AM. We had some rain during the day. Steve and I went to Kalispell and he bought me some new shoes for my birthday. Then we hit up Walmart for supplies. We had lunch when we got back to the RV. Later the satellite dish went off - so no TV for a while. I believe we took a nap. At 10:30 PM there were no cars in the parking lot! Yea! It's really nice when everyone leaves. 

My new shoes!

Deer up on the loop. We saw them when we walked.

Thursday (25) Today was another routine day. We were not busy. so we hung out and took it easy. Supper tonight was Taco Salad. Friday (26) Today is my Birthday. It's a beautiful day and 76° with some overcast skies. We got dressed and had our breakfast. After our walk we loaded up the pickup with the dogs and some snacks and headed north. We are on my birthday excursion to Polebridge Mercantile for lunch and huckleberry bear claws and a few cookies (for the boss). We had a great drive and lunch. I appreciated the texts and calls I received wishing me a Happy Birthday. When we got back to the RV, we noticed a paddleboat down by the dock. After investigating, we found a noted indicating they it was free to anyone who wanted it. 



Adorable Dog - I could not resist taking his picture

Lunch - way too much but really good.

My daily dose of Deer!

Saturday (27) It rained overnight, which is good. We always need rain. It was also windy all day. That is a little unusual for here, but we can deal with it because we are from Oklahoma, where it is windy most of the time. Tony was down here again today and we gave him some cookies. He brought a brush for our outdoor toilet - but it did not have a handle - and that is the part we need. We told him about our adventure yesterday and then he was on his way. When we walked the dogs at 3:30 PM we looked up the hill and saw two trees down in the road north of the gate. We got them cleared with the help of two guys from the loop. They came down with their chainsaw and cut up the bigger one that Steve couldn't cut with his limb saw. Some people are really helpful!

Sunday (28) We did all the routine things. Then we putzed around When we checked the dock mid afternoon - there was an older guy in a Kayak just laying in it. He seemed to be struggling. And a lady was trying to help him up. We finally asked them if they needed assistance. But he said he had a bad back and would be OK in a bit. We weren't too sure about that- we thought he might have been a little under the influence of something. Also some young kids had loaded the free paddleboat up and were going to take it home and try to fix it. Yea! We don't have to haul it to the dump. 

This homemade truck camper belongs to the guy we were worried about.


Monday (29) So today was another routine day. We didn't start doing much until about 10 AM. Our highlight was going to the grocery store at Bigfork. Tuesday (30) We did all the things. Then we got ready to go to town to get haircuts. If I remember, next year, I am going to make hair appointments earlier in the summer. While we were in town we washed the pickup, got gas and groceries. Then it was back to the RV. We relaxed a bit and visited with Sydney when she came by. She brought us a handle for our toilet brush - but it didn't fit either. 

New Haircut

Wednesday (31) After doing the chores  we visited with  Hazel about when to mail our last batch of meds and mail. She is going on a trip in September so she will send our mail before she goes. In the afternoon Steve & I went to Kalispell so  I could get a steroid shot in my shoulder. My appointment was at 3:30 and I arrived early and we were back home by 4 PM.
