My weekender tote and I are in Montana. We arrived by train last Thursday and have been hanging out ever since. Here’s what’s been happening:
Thursday: Train arrives on time to Havre, MT. Picked up at the train station by Melissa and her three adorable munchkins – H, H, & H. Meet newest munchkin, Hadley Hope. We paint. Settle in. Meet Melissa’s twin sister and her daughter, who have also come to stay, all the way from Alaska. YAY to it all!
Friday: Travel to Fort Benton for our annual lunch trip to the cutest little coffee shop. Make glitter playdough and hang out for the rest of the day. Sprinkle pancakes for supper. YAY!
Saturday: Cookie day! Mix dough, roll, and bake. YAY! Saturday afternoon it all began to turn into a BOO. I started to not feel well; retreated to my room. Stomach flu hits. Huge, gigantic BOO.
Sunday: This was to be the day that Paige and I officially became godparents to Miss Hadley in church. I was sick in bed instead. BOO. Eventually return to the land of the living by evening for some toast, after naps and many episodes of Game of Thrones on my iPad in my windowless basement room.
Monday: Head for Essex at Glacier for our conference. Snow, mountains, and trees. Feeling better. YAY.
Today: Currently on break from class. Hanging by the fire at the inn, cross stitching and quilting. Class again tonight, once more tomorrow morning, and then we are back to Big Sandy for one more night before the train ride home. It’s gone too quickly, especially with losing two days due to icky sickness!
Views of the afternoon (You’ll have to tilt your head on the last one – the WordPress app won’t let me edit or delete it.):
there's no place like gnome.
