Pat, Ray and Lillian with Larry in front
Pat and Mavis

Barb and Dave

Wow, it has been a long, long time since I updated this blog, so where do I start?? We currently are in Billings and have spent some time in Great Falls. On Tuesday or Weds. we will be heading to Minnesota to see the grand-kids. Yeah!

While we were in Great Falls we shared time with my sister, Mavis and her family and also time with Dave's sister. We took Barb out to an old ranch where they had many a fond memory of time spent there with old family friends. The house is now empty, but one of the daughters

had restored the house to the original with furnishings and curtains etc for her father's memorial service. It brought many many memories back for both Barb and Dave.

Time spent with Mavis was a little quieter as she is recovering from surgery. She is doing extremely well, but still is not her strong self. We did manage to get her to the fair a couple of times while we were there, so that we could eat some of that good fattening food.

Thursday night we had a family dinner here at Lillian's in honor of our brother, Larry. He was flying out the next day to California to be closer to his children. One of his sons, Phillip was here with him and to take him to the plane to meet yet another son for flying back. He has been very ill and needs to be closer to his children. His wife will be going there to join him the end of next week. We hope that all goes well for them.
