July 4-5-6-7, 2012 Whitehall, Montana

July 7, 2012 ~~~ Having way too much fun here on Lost Moose Bend Road, Whitehall, Montana and now have to try to play catch up!  Tuffy and Merlin had an old friend and co-workers daughters (Terry and Laurie) come to visit for a few days.  One of them, Terry, was fun to be with and to listen to and obviously likes people and animals, especially dogs and horses! 

Here's The House.... perfectly lovely inside and out, and no greater views anywhere we went on this adventure!

View from our "camping spot" at the Thompson Compound.... Montana sunrise.

This is a couple of Tuffy and Merlin's little friends who came to visit the side yard ... by the time I got the camera they had started to wander off.

THIS is the impressive pile of logs laying in the yard... we thought maybe Tuffy was going to build a log guest house for the visiting public, but NO, he's chopping it all up into firewood!  An estimated 18 CORDS of firewood!! 

And HERE is yesterday and todays result of the wood cutter/splitter machine chopping up wood ... Tuffy's kids and OURS would have loved to have seen it done this way about 25 or 30 years ago!  LOL

Look at those PILES of firewood!  AND, he's not done yet.  It was very tiring watching the guy run the machine that cust and splits all that.  We had to go take naps after watching all that!

And here is Tuffy and Merlin's company, who left today after breakfast and a trip through the Saturday market.  The one next to Marla is Terry.  Great gal, and we enjoyed her!  The one in the black shirt is Terry's older sister Laurie.
