HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKAELA!!!

So, glad to see how much Aubrey is growing--wow, it doesn't seem that long ago that we heard about her arrival. Cydney, I like those pictures!! and yes, I do have the best looking grandkids on the Blog!!--including those with red hair!!. Mikaela called and said that McKay had taken off walking today!! What a birthday present!!

Grandpa and I left Monday afternoon, intending to go over into Montana. We got as far as Farragut State Park just before dark. So, we camped for the night. It is very pretty there with lots of pine trees and grass, but they have not had water since June and everything is showing dry. We left the next morning and drove to Bay View. It is a picture perfect town on Lake Pend O'Reille. Quite a bit of history there. Guess the lake is the deepest fresh water lake in the US and miners used it to go by paddle boat to the gold mines in Montana. It is close to Farragut, which used to be a military base during WWII. Anyway, shortly after getting back on to Highway 95 going toward Sandpoint, our lovely "white beast" (that had gotten back from repair) started making funny jerking sounds in the transmission. So Grandpa thought we better head home---We arrived back about sundown on Tuesday! So, now is the question, is it normal noise or problem--we like to think it is normal when we see how much it will cost to replace it and how little they want to give us on trade in. Oh well, join us another hour to hear the updated saga!!! Have a great one all you many birthday people. Love, Grandma K.
