Last day off....

July 13 – I left my phone on last night as Directv was due between 8 and noon.  Well, the reminder call came at 7:00 that he would be here and sure enough he was here at 8.  We were the only stop at this end of the valley and he’s way south of us.  The good news is he was on time, the bad news is there is nothing he could do for us due to the kind of dish we have.  It will not get the satellite that we need for the local channels.  He said once we get down into Utah when we leave we’ll pick them up.  Oh well! 

After breakfast Bill mowed our grass and the field in back of the campground while I made a batch of hummingbird food, finished mending my frog’s leg and worked a lot on our remaining trip.  We are going on a road trip while here with Molly in tow.  It’s 2-3 days and I found a pet friendly place for night one in Red Lodge, MT.  It’s at the NE entrance/exit of Yellowstone and we’ve never been through that one.  We will drive what’s called Beartooth Hwy and I gather it’s pretty slow going.  We might spend the second night in Bozeman and do our shopping in the AM and come home.  We haven’t decided for sure on that yet.

We’re trying to co-ordinate with Ron and Barbara on specifically what day they will join us from Florida so I’m not going to plan or book anything further than September 14 until I hear from them.  They said they would get back to us in the next day or so.  We know we’ll meet at least September 25 or so but was hoping it is sooner.

I made a small rhubarb crisp for us for 2 nights and have enough for another one.  Yum!  I use whole oats so it’s really good in fiber to help counter the sugar rhubarb takes.  Bill grilled pork chops and zucchini on the grill and I made a dish of tomato with fresh mozzarella with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar, all it was missing was fresh basil!  An hour later we had our dessert and called it a day.

Back to work tomorrow!
