Steve thought there wouldn't be that much that we would be hauling up there this time...really??  The car was stuffed!!

We left at 9:20a... on the way out of town I called Dan- we haven't been able to get  a hold of him ..the last time Steve called his land line wasn't working- we both were concerned..we didn't even have any of his families #'s to check on him.   I was so relieved when he actually answered the phone.. he had been busy..his phone wasn't working for awhile as they were digging the lines in under his driveway.
He sounded like he may find some time over the next few days to come and join us..since it is our last weekend for the year. He gave me his nephew Matt's # too.

We stopped in Mora at the unclaimed freight so I could get the metal flower thermometer..then to Hinckley ..I wasn't too hungry so just had beef dumpling soup..Steve had Stew..it looked really good with big chunks of carrots and potatoes.

I let Murphy out for a bit of a run and then back on the road.  We were on 23 not too far and Steve  started jerking  back and forth into the other lane..I asked him if he was tired and wanted me to drive for awhile..he did..so it wasn't long and he was snoring., why he just couldn't ask me..good thing I wasn't too into my book I was reading ..not a car on the road..it was great..the trees were still very colorful!

He took over again when we got to Hwy 13...
we got to our driveway and sitting so nice and inviting was a park bench..wonder where that came from?

We got the car unloaded ...and then brought the Lamb Beth was sharing with us over to her..they were just leaving on the 3 wheeler to try out Rocky's board with wheels on Touve Hill..he  got a brand new brake for it..he left to try and she stayed and visited...he came back soon because it was way too muddy.

 

we stayed awhile and then came home...I was so chilled..I warmed up some of the spicy black bean soup I had brought with...it did the trick!

 

at 6 I went over to Patty's to see if it was ok to use the 4 wheelers tomorrow..Beth and Rocky wanted to take us to Baldy Mountain.  ...I met her at the mailbox..she said that was fine and that  Carl would be home tomorrow so he could check them out for us and give us some instructions... the others probably don't need it but I do.

 

I came home and changed into sweats ..then Steve wanted to go for a walk down the driveway to get a better look at the bench...so we did...I was allot warmer in my sweats and fleece sweatshirt.  The bench was missing a board at the top but other than that it was in good shape.

 

On the way back Murphy and I checked out the Honey Gold apple tree... the other trees had been picked clean..Beth was going to pick some apples the week before and there were none... ATV tracks around the tree... she was mad... she didn't check this one which is off by itself  and sure enough there were some apples on it.

 

The trailer finally got warmed up..we will be nice and warm tonight!

I love it up here with out TV ..it is such a distraction that keeps us from really talking..

God is good!
