Spring Break er….Snow Break?

April 7th, 2010 jeremi Posted in My Family |

So  Dh wanted to go visit Montello again while the girls had their spring break.  I agreed to do PART of spring break, so we went for 4 days.  I know it totally bumbs Dh out that I just do not enjoy it like he does.  I really wish I did, but so far it’s only partially my cup of tea.  One positive is that it totally makes me not take my comforts from home for granted.  A shower never feels so good when you’ve been in the cold and the mud and the smoke (from both the wood burning stove & all the cigarette smokers around).

We got there on Saturday and Preston had made up another container cabin for Bill, a guy from California who also bought land out there.  We sat and waited on the main highway for the delivery guy to bring the container on his big truck.  While we were waiting a big huge MASSIVE Great Pyrenees came and stuck his head in our window.  He put his big dog paws on the running board and asked for some love.

Which made our dog act like a sad little puppy…

Finally the container came and Bill got his container dropped on his property…

SUCCESS!!

The resident chihuahua has captured the girls heart.  Each time we’ve gone they love this little guy to pieces….his name, fittingly, is Peewee.

We met another family from California (The Lemke’s) while we were there as well.  A great family who have plans to move to Montello full time in a couple of years!

This trip was the coldest one yet, I think even colder than when we went in January.  The wind just blew & blew and that made it even worse.  I think I might fair better if it is HOT outside and I can at least throw a bucket of water over my head to wash my hair.  I have found I don’t do well when I cannot have a shower.  I am used to one a day if not two.  I’m not ready to go back anytime soon but maybe once good weather hits I’ll change my mind, haha!  Sorry babe!
