Summer of 2010 in Montana

Two weeks in the "big sky" country and I can't remember the last time I had such a great visit. I drove to Montana with Jake and Teddy and they were not the best travelers. The minute the car stops, they want out and need a walk. It took a couple of days for them to get used to the outdoors of Montana, but they adapted. I had a week of visiting with family and friends prior to the reunion. Work on the house and yard also took up some time. The reunion was the classes of '69, '70, '71 and about 110 attended. It was three days of great memories. Friday was a social evening at the County Club. Saturday morning we played golf at Sleepy Hollow and had a blast! I birdied the first hole! Saturday afternoon was a picnic at Barrett's Campground with a wonderful BBQ and lots of fun. Sat. night found us at the Lions Den socializing again.
Sunday morning was a brunch in the cafeteria at the college and our final pictures and farewells with the promise to meet up again in five years. What a great time!!

The next week was spent visiting with my college roomate. We went to Elkhorn Hot Springs and soaked in the mineral water and then had a nice dinner out. The next day we traveled to Virginia city, Montana and acted like tourists prior to attending the Virginia City Players.
We golfed and laughed and shopped and renewed our friendship. Nothing like old firends, because they never forget you and they are always there.
