Last days in Kalispell
We had a terrific time at the show in Bigfork on Thursday! We saw Paint Your Wagon. The music was great and the cast was very enthusiastic and animated. Before the show we stopped at Carl and Barb's new home on the Eagle Bend Golf Course. They have a wonderful lot on the 14th hole and the house is quite spectacular. We had a quick drink and some chat while exploring the home and then headed for The Showthyme restaurant for dinner before the show. This restaurant is right next to the theatre and they guarantee they will get you fed and out in time for the show. We had wonderful meals and all left quite full. We walked around a bit, even found an ice cream store that had Huckleberry ice cream, and got to our seats in plenty of time for the show. After the show we dropped Carl and Barb off at their home and headed for our coach as Alex had been alone for about 6 1/2 hours and we were somewhat concerned. She was just fine when we got home and she seemed very happy to see us.
On Friday Carl and I played golf at the Big Mountain G.C. with Carl's friend Frank and a friend of Frank's, John. We had a great day and Carl and I separated the other guys from a beer as we beat them quite handily, due in large part to Carl shooting 34 on the front nine. Carl shot his age again today, 75, and continues to impress me with his flexibility and golf skills. On Saturday Carl and I played at the Buffalo Hills G.C. and we were paired with George and Jane Denison. George is the president of Montana University and it turned out that we had many friends in common. We enjoyed the day on a pretty course that has about 15 dog leg holes. A lot of local knowledge was necessary and fortunately George had played there before and proved very helpful to us.
Carl came back to the coach with me and after spending a little time chatting we grilled some steaks and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Barb was gone to Great Falls to help her mother for a few days so, unfortunately, she missed the steak fry.
Tippy and I are going out to lunch today, Sunday, and will hit Costco and a shopping center after eating. Enjoy the pictures below and be safe. We will head for Helena, MT tomorrow so our next report will come from there.
