08/13/15 - I had meant to blog every day since I returned to Montana and I see the last time was on 8/5.

8/6 & 8/7 - Just spent time with Aunt Ada, ran errands if necessary and then we tried to find a pattern for her to make a pillow out of some of Uncle Lee's ties.  We stopped off at a quilt shop but did not have any luck.  We made several phone calls but then I did research on the Internet and finally I did find one for her.

8/8 - we did some laundry since I wanted to have mostly clean clothes when I returned back to Montana.

8/9 - we went to church and then we had a delicious lasagna dish, vegetables and pumpkin pie.

8/10 - we went over to Glencroft to pick up some quilting pieces for Aunt Ada to quilt.  It was nice since I had never been there. Aunt Ada drove around and showed me the place.

8/11 - Robyn and I left at 9:00am for the airport since I was heading back to Montana.  There was a thunderstorm that went through near the airport so we were delayed about an hour out of Phoenix to Salt Lake City, Utah.  I had a two hour lay over so I knew I was OK but there were a lot that were going to miss their connecting flight.  When I got to Salt Lake City, I decided not to mess around and go to the gate since it was in another terminal.  When I got to the gate, I learned that it was overbooked and they were they still needed two volunteers to give up their seats.  I then called Onita in Montana since she was my ride and she was very kind and told me it did not matter what time I came in.  So I volunteered.  I had been schedule to depart at 3:35pm and arrive in Missoula at 5:07pm.  Sure enough, they used my seat, so I was on standby for the 4:50pm flight getting in a little after 9:00pm and then I had a reserved seat for the 9:50pm flight getting in at 11:15pm.  Of course the first flight was full so I ended up on the 9:50pm flight.  I got a meal voucher for $15.00 and a Delta voucher for $600 that I have the whole year to use.  I was quite the happy camper!!

8/12  and today,  worked on getting the RV ready for travel since I will be leaving tomorrow around 9:00am and hopefully make it to Pocatello, Idaho or Twin Falls, Idaho.  It kinda depends on which route I take because one is a little easier driving but more miles and the other route has more curves and a more narrow road.  So will wait and see.
