We have decided to stay here in Lolo, Montana till it is time to take Gage to the airport. He flies out of Great Falls, MT the afternoon of the 12th. We plan on driving the Jeep from here to Great Falls then coming back and leaving the morning of the 13th with the motor home heading for Glacier National Park. We aren’t doing anything noteworthy just enjoying the park and playing cards with Jack and Barbara.
Larry and Twila
Just a few words about Twila and myself, We got married November the 29th 2002. I had lost my first wife to cancer in May of 2001 and had finally reached the point of wanting to share my life with someone else. My younger brother Bill's, youngest son, Mike, was married to a wonderful girl, Terri, and I knew Terri's mother had been divorced for several years, although I had never met her. I thought anyone who had a daughter that nice I wanted to meet the mama ...... so I finally finaggled an invitation to a granddaughter's birthday party. Now here's the tricky part. The girl is Twila's granddaughter and my niece; so I got my brother's wife to get me invited, asked Twila out the next Friday night and 4 months later we got married. Would have been quicker but she was a little hard to convince because she had vowed to never get married again. Now I have a nephew that calls me uncle grandpa.
I had an old 1989 34 foot motor home and in the summer of 2003 we loaded up 3 grandsons, 2 of mine and 1 of hers, and head to Carlsbad, the Grand Canyon, and Mesa Verde. When we got back 10 days later we were a little crazy but ready for more RVing. We made several trips (by ourselves) that lasted 1 1/2 to 2 months and started going to Aransas Pass, Texas for the winter for 3 to 4 months at a time. In November 2007 we decided to go "full time". I sold the home place which has been in the family since sometime in the 1930's to my middle son Todd and we hit the road in a 41' 2005 Gulfstream G7 Motor Home towing a 2005 Jeep Liberty. Before I sold the home place I poured a pad complete with 50 amp electric, sewer, and water so in the spring and fall when the weather is not too cold or too hot we pull in and sit for a few weeks until our feet start to itch and then we have to follow the dream.
