Afternoon and evening out with Mike and Darlene

August 13 – This morning Bill and I shared the last scone so we could try the Olallieberry Preserves that Darlene and Mike brought us.  Oh, is it ever good!  It a hybrid of a blackberry and a loganberry developed in 1949 in Oregon.  If you ever get a chance to try, do so!!

After breakfast Bill went to the library, the bank, the post office and Robin’s Roost.  When he got back he washed the truck so we’ll be nice and shiny on our next outing!  The neighbors behind us that Bill has bonded with are leaving tomorrow so he took them a couple of items I crocheted to thank them for being such good neighbors and loaning us an AC meter.  Ours should be here in a couple of days.  They are full timers from IL.

It was 46 when I got up this morning and the sun came out and by lunchtime it was 62.   The day warmed up a bit so when Darlene and Mike arrived this afternoon it was pretty nice out.  We went to Quake Lake and Hebgen Lake where they saw and heard about the earthquake from 60 years ago.  Until you see it, it’s hard to wrap your head around the

Memorial Boulder

series of events and how quickly it all took place.  Mike got a lot of photos and I remembered this time to put the SD card in my camera!

We had time left before we needed to head over to the Yellowstone Playhouse, so we just sat and visited til it was time.  The theater was sold out again and we were seated at the very end of a row which was nice.  The food was good and plentiful as before.  Mike and Darlene enjoyed their meal as well.  The guys went chicken and the gals went prime rib, no one left hungry!  Bill and I didn’t think the show was a good as the last one but we still laughed a lot and had a good time!  We managed to be the first car to pull out so we didn’t get stuck in a line and then it was zip across the road!  Dar and Mike headed back to West Yellowstone and since we work tomorrow, they have a day to themselves while we slave at the campground!
