It was so good to see Rich and Carol the 3rd -12th of June here. They made it just in time for Titus' 1st birthday party and spoiled him rotten the rest of the time too! Tom had to work a couple of days while they were here, so one day Grandpa & Grandma took Titus and I out for breakfast at one of mommy's favorite places, Paul's Pancake Parlor! We actually all got pancakes, usually I do not! I tried their strawberry Swedish crepes, Carol tried their German pancake and Rich got some other pancake that looked more normal than ours but I forget the flavor! Titus' liked my Swedish ones! Tom and Rich went fishing a few days that they were here, the first two tries though they got a little wet from the rain but the last day on Saturday that they went, they got to go on a boat with a friend of ours up to Browns Lake near Seeley and they brought home 3 trout to eat! Mmmm so yummy! Meanwhile during the boy's fishing Grandma got to play a lot with Titus and she had also brought some of her art supplies with her and she made a beautiful watercolor picture while she was here of a nature scene! I wished she had grabbed a local Independent paper to see what all was happening around town on those days that the boys were gone. Grandma, Titus and I could have got out a little and enjoyed some stuff around Missoula! Next time I will remember! We did make a trip to Costco hoping to get Grandma some chips but that was unsuccessful, she needs the real salty ones for when she gets low on sodium. On Saturday before the boys left for fishing we did all go to the market which was fun. I had wanted to show a couple of neat vendors to Carol while there but we didn't find them! But we got some fresh rhubarb and I made a pie that night for us to enjoy after the boys finally returned around 10pm!
This was just the neatest little "garden" I thought, this vendor uses mortar in the bottom to hold the rocks together and then she plants plants in them. This one she called a "fairy garden" with the little fence and there is a clothes line! So cute, she said she would be there all summer, but she wasn't when we took Rich & Carol! And she had really reasonable prices!
I thought this coffee table was super cool! Did not see this vendor there again but I had not asked them if they would be there all summer!
I loved these lamps, but this vendor was from WA and just passing through the weekend we saw him at the market!
We did take Grandpa & Grandma to some our favorite places to eat, like Vietnam Noodle & Fiesta En Jalisco for some good Mexican on Sunday before they pulled out of town to head home! Thanks Rich and Carol for coming to visit! Titus really loved playing with grandma and it was so enjoyable to watch!
P.S. They stayed out at those Jellystone Cabins which were really nice for anyone that may have family coming to visit sometime but the bed was not comfortable for them so they used our air mattress with the mattress on the bed and that worked well for them.
