Has it been a whole week ?? !!!!

It sure does not seem that it has been a whole week since I last blogged........  As I mentioned in the last entry we were just starting our 4 day "work" shift last Sunday.  So Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we were pretty busy around the park.  Since Brenda is in charge of the office and I am usually out and about in the park, I usually make our lunch's.  This last week I had some fun with it.......



 More and more people are showing up as different events around the area crop up.  This last week we had the National Retriever Trials here in the Polson and Ronan areas.  We have about 3 or 4 couples that are here for that.  This last weekend we had a large girls softball tournament that basically filled us up.  Suddenly our little oasis of fun has turned into a busy RV Resort !


Here is a cool barn pic we took on the way back..........


Friday we went to the Farmers Market, did some grocery shopping, and just hung out.  In the early evening we found out that our house in Royal Oak was no longer our house.  It has closed and moved on to its new owner.  Just one more thing that we do not have to worry about any more !

Saturday we got up in the AM and played pickle ball.  Me and another one of our new friends were sitting out waiting our turn to play and he did not look like he was feeling well.  We were carrying on a conversation so I did not think that much of it.  I then stood up and started walking to stretch my legs in anticipation of playing and all of a sudden our friend fell straight back off of the picnic table and hit his head on the cement with the most disturbing sound I have ever heard.  I was just a few steps away and it all happened right in front of me, but there was no way to stop him.  Once I got to him his eyes were rolled back in his had and he was convulsing pretty bad.  Susan, one of our other friends and former nurse ran over to help.  911 was called.  He had a pulse and we determined he was breathing, however very shallowly.  He was bleeding pretty bad from the back of his head but that is fairly normal with head injuries. I used a trick learned back in my National Ski Patrol Days and used my knuckles back an forth across his chest and with that he was conscious again and talking to us. The paramedics  showed up, check his sugar, his heart with an EKG, and back boarded him and took him to the Hospital.  He was released later that day with the determination that he had a virus and was probably dehydrated and that is what caused him to be dizzy and pass out.  We saw him this morning and he seems like he will be fine.  I was sure that when I first approached him that the outcome was going to be much worse, thank god it was not.  Not a good way to start the day,  The rest of the day we put vent covers over our ceiling vents.  This allows us to keep the roof vents open all the time and not worry about the rain but yet have great ventilation. WE also took a nap and went to happy hour.  At night we watched the Hawks beat the Lighting (go Hawks !).......

Today, Sunday, we went to the Rodeo over in Hot Springs.  It was a great day for it with lots of sunshine and temps in the lower 70's................Check out my Cow Girl !!!






On the way home we ran across a candidate for a new Motor home, but we thought it might need a little more work that we were willing to put into it.........................


The views coming back to town from the north were incredible too.............................


Here are a couple of shots from the dock at a park we stopped at........................



It never ceases to amaze us how beautiful Montana is.......



More to come !
