One Last Hoo-rah!!

We left Thursday night to go to our family cabin a little over an hour away. We invited Val and Tom to go with us. Tom couldn't come up until Saturday morning, but Val was having none of that so she drove up with us. We stopped Htown on our way and got dinner to take with us. Once we got there, we quickly unloaded everything, put the cold things in the fridge, put on a movie and ate while we watched to movie.

On Friday morning, we ate breakfast, lazed around, got dressed at our leisure and watched movies. In the afternoon, Val, Noodle, Lewlew and I went into Ktown. We needed to get just a few things, potatoes, Dr. Pepper, etc. On our way we stopped at a yard sale. Lew found a karaoke machine for $8, Noodle found a plaster Ape that she got for Bret for $.25, Val got an animal print bag and a table for her daughter. So then she had to call Tom and tell him to either clean out the back of their 4-Runner or bring up a trailer. When she told him that she and I went yard saling, his response was a sarcastic, "Ho-ly Sh*!" We laughed!

We got back to the cabin, fixed hamburgers, corn on the cob, pasta salad and chips for dinner and watched more movies.

Saturday Bret took Buddy fishing. They caught 14 fish!! He said they lost track of who caught how many. Last year, Bret caught 3 and Buddy caught 9. That is a great fishing hole, though I wish the fish were a bit bigger. Bret fixed a few for Tom, Buddy and himself and we froze the rest to have at home.



Tom got there and fixed us breakfast. Oh, his hash browns are so dang yummy! Oh, my goodness, they were good! Then we watched movies, napped, watched movies, snacked, watched movies, ate taco soup for dinner, watched movies and then went to bed.







Sunday we got up and had left overs for breakfast watched one last movie, packed up, cleaned the cabin and drove home.

All of us - including Dusty!

The temperatures were cool - not too hot during the day and cool at night. The company was perfect. The kids got along. The movies were good. The relaxation was awesome! We love going to the cabin and are so grateful for it. There are many who are not as fortunate. We were glad our friends were able to come up with us. They came with us years ago, but I'll have to look in my scrapbook for the date, but I think it was 2011. We'd love to be able to go again before snow flies - so here's hoping!



Me and Val!
