Wednesday with Saundra and Belinda

Belinda and Saundra took advantage of the splendid weather to explore Main Street in Stevensville and a side visit to the wildlife refuge. This evening we all were present for the Wednesday evening gathering at the church.

Charles took pictures of the wild turkeys that frequent our street each winter. They are early which I hope isn't a forecast of long, cold winter!

Tuesday with Saundra and Belinda

Another delightful day with Saundra and Belinda. We visited the Daly Mansion and had lunch at Memories Café (in Corvallis), both wonderful parts of our Valley.

Monday with Saundra and Belinda

We did NOT hike "the M"!!!

Visiting Charles in his studio

Friends at Cracker Barrel

Always ready to browse at Goodwill!

Setting on Monday afternoon for Missoula where we visited Charles' painting studio and saw the trail that leads to "the M" (no, we did not hike to the top). 

Following lunch at Cracker Barrel, we made a stop at Goodwill where I'm always able to find a bargain or hidden treasure!

Hello!

My dear friend, Saundra, is visiting from San Antonio this week. Arriving last night, we set up 'camp' at a nearby rental cabin with Belinda as chaperone!

Sunday was given to attending worship at the Stevensville United Methodist Church, lunch with church members at Frontier Cafe`, and a tour of the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge.

First day of Autumn

A wet and chilly day was on hand on College Street as autumn blew into town!

A lovely outing

Belinda and I had a lovely outing to Hamilton today, stopping at the Coffee Cup for lunch.

A bit of excitement on College Street

Just before Belinda and Charles returned from their vacation there was a bit of excitement on College Street. Our neighbor, Doreen, found what was thought to be dynamite among her husband's items in the garage (he had died years ago). After the entire block was evacuated, it was determined that the material was not dynamite, but aged blasting material! Quite exciting but certainly relieved that it wasn't more serious for all concerned!
