8/17/17 - On 8/9, Onita and I got up very early and headed or Missoula which is about 50 miles since she had cataract surgery scheduled on the one eye.  After surgery, we went to Walmart to pick up my meds, to the bank so I could deposit a check, then lunch at Chipotle's before heading back to Corvallis.  Onita did extremely well with her surgery and now only needs reading glasses.  Stan was off for the day but had alot of errands to run.  In the evening, he started a fire in the pit and we had a nice time.

I need to blog about every other day, because my dates are all mixed up so I will just write what I remember.  One day, Onita took me around to see some of the area and we went to Lake Como and a typical western town named Daly.  They have a great candy/fudge store so of course I had to get some.  One night we stopped off a assisted living place and visited Stan's mother.

8/16, Onita and I went to pick up her mother-in-law and got her hair cut and she needed some items from Walgreens before we took her back in time for lunch.  I was sitting outside waiting for  her, when a gentleman yelled and here was a rather large buck walking down the street.  What a sight.  When Onita and I were leaving, we saw a doe and she slowly walked across the parking lot in front of us, crossed the street and here come two fawns and started to nurse right in the middle of the street.  I never saw anything like it.  I said my goodbyes since Stan leaves early for work.

Today, I got up at 7 45 am and started to put things away.  Onita had to leave at 9 am so I went in to say my finally good bye and thank you.  I left Corvallis at 10 00 am.  I had excellent traveling even though I had to good through several mountain passes but with extra knowledge the motor never over headed.  I am so thankful for a good traveling day.  Since I gained an hour,  also drove an hour extra so now tomorrow won't be so long.  I am at a Love's truck stop in Ritzville, Washington.  I need gas tomorrow and of course since I crossed the Idaho border it has increased 35 cents per gallon!!
Off to bed
