Papa Skip is 80!! Do you know how awesome that is? It is fabulous. It is wonderful and miraculous. And, a definite reason to celebrate. Sue and I had discussed bringing the folks to the Flathead for a few days. Sue had checked out hotels and John had agreed to drive them up in his van. To top off their mini vacation was going to be a trip to Spencers for steak, spaghetti and hopefully a chat with every ones favorite waitress Lynn. Sounded good. But, we were shot down. And, I have to admit that I understand it. When we drive to Dillon to visit, it is a major undertaking. You don't sleep well and by the end of the trip there is the inevitable exhaustion. They are comfortable in their home. They are safe in their home. They have their own beds and the stress level is much lower. So, plan two. Meet in Butte, dinner at Lydias. Nope, shot down again. In the end, Dad wanted to dine at the Den with his Family. And, it was brilliant. Uncle Mel and Bo came down and the lovely Lanes joined us. It was nice. Happy Birthday Papa Skip, we love, love love you!!
