It's been a while since my last post. Not sure everyone knew what we were doing, but we went to Texas for a week and a half. We flew back for doctor's appointments (check ups) and to help Judy and Mark paint and move some stuff into their new home. Plus we had to get Sadie kisses to help us get through our summer. We had a great time, planned on attending my family reunion, but because I was sick the day before and the day of, didn't make it to the reunion. After 2 days of flying standby to get back to Missoula, we finally made it. That's another post in itself one day.
Today we went to the Farmer's Market in downtown Missoula. Our friends Adam and Larue drove us there and pretty much were our guides for the morning. We bought fresh homegrown vegetables, yummy, then walked through the craft booths where I purchased an awesome large hat that screams "tourist". But it was very sunny and I burn in 10 minutes. After a great lunch Adam drove us to places where we can park and day hike. Alan and I have it in our heads we're going to get in shape this summer. It's sounds great while it's nice and cool and breezy, but let's see how it goes by the end of the summer. The neatest part was when we drove past a pond and there was a moose swimming and eating the greens on the bottom of the pond! It was floating and swimming and staying under water completely submerged. Just bobbing along, not bothered by the traffic or noise. In the middle of the day. How cool is that? There are trails, creeks, rivers, hills, and mountains just about every turn here in Missoula. We have some flat trails and slow grade trails picked out. And even though it might get into the upper 80s or 90 degree weather, it isn't humid here so the heat doesn't feel as hot as in Texas. As we start our "getting in shape" summer, I'll take my camera and post pictures--probably of me almost passing out from walking, but we'll see. And we want to tube the river here when it warms up a little first. We have high expectations for ourselves. But Nathan, we want to be ready for a hike with you when you visit us here this summer!
So until next time, happy hiking!

Good for you Mimi & Alan! Never hurts to exercise (look who's talking?).
Eddie says y'all should post "before" and "after" pics on your blog. He said it, not me.
Sounds great! Enjoy your summer!
Jan & Eddie
I don't mind posting an after picture but never a before picture of me showing off my fat. any pictures of a before me must be candid. I try not to be vain but there's a limit. We've decided to start with a small trail tomorrow morning. The camera is packed.
