Good Morning World!...
  Well we are into our week of working on the 5th wheel in montana... it is almost done today and we will probably head back home on Saturday morning... It really has been a beautiful trip here and the scenery is gorgeous.   Bob and Noreen are great hosts here and its been good to meet up with them again.  They are a big encouragement to us to pursue out thoughts on snow birding.  We will see what the next year holds.
  Today is Thursday 8-26-13  and really I have had a good rest here.  got to talk to a few friends at length also so that truly is special to me.  At home things get push to shove and with working and commitments things go by the wayside an before you know it a week has shot by me.  I am looking forward to being retired and having much more to accomplish probably...but it will be my projects to finish that I have wanted to get done for the last 20 years.  It is so hard to put my dreams on hold while focusing on reality.
   During the day while Solar Bob and Mack are working on the install...I have been just goofing off on the computer doing what I truly love...surfing the net...exploring different bloggs...and blogging myself just for the sake of blogging.  I haven't  usually written much here in the last year or so...but thought I should try to start putting my thoughts on paper again..that is more important probably.
   I have gone walking each morning @ 8am with Noreen and we walk for almost a hour..about 3 miles and just go down her road...it is a nice walk and not hard.
   So think today I will check my working schedule for next week...make something to eat this am...and try to figure out a way(write it on paper probably) to figure out how this solar stuff works(I should know by now after the camper)...I gotta write it down and think about it more...to get it straight in my mind.  They are actually putting on the solar panels as I write,...so they are almost done.
   Last night I made popcorn and burnt it...made it the old fashion way...in a pan with oil...and it has been many years since I did that..but it was passible and not too burnt.  Mack didn't think that was too smart and wondered how I did that so easily  .... doesn't take me but a minute to screw up things... haha.
   My phone camera is messed up again..I had the auto backup working during Eric & Nicole's wedding and when I got home I hit a button again and it won't work...so I have to wait til we get home to download pictures straight to the computer...with the camera and phone...have gotten so many beautiful pictures of the sunsets here..they are epic!
   so guess that catches you up to date...each morning I have a few more mosquito bites...guess they like me here...maybe I will put on make-up today...I have been looking very plain...total rest here...no worries...and Bob is your Uncle!
  Hugs & Prayers,
  BJM
  P.S. here is cute piano rendition that was well done...!

Good Morning World!...
We left today for Roundup, Montana...via Bend, oregon, over to Boise, Idaho and on up to Montana... Mack and I are both alittle nervous about this long trip 1,112 miles pulling the 5h wheel.. so we wanted the most level route...  the GPS is really no help...she just keep yelling at us saying we are on the wrong road...so we turned her off...  Haven't eaten yet except for Sharon's cinnamon bread that she made yesterday for us...how sweet and thoughtful of her to do that...and glad that I remembered where I packed it in my bags for the truck... the ride has been quiet and l...till we got to bend, oregon and decided to keep going and realized that it was 120 miles to Burns, Ore  and we might not even make it on 1/4 tank diesel..so we turned around and glad that we did because we got 28 gallons...meaning we had on 7 left...and that would not have been enough for us to get to Burns...he wanted me to tell him what to do and I voted to turn back to Bend, Oregon  (we were 10 miles out on HWY 20) cause I sure didn't want to walk for fuel...   so that is solved and over now and we are headed for a rest stop for food break now...somewhere in the middle of nowhere...  will take a picture!
