Flew to Missoula to meet Don and Beth than onto a 5 1/2 hr. car ride to Burley Idaho for family time and Grandpa's memorial. If Don hadn't packed everything he owned it would have been more pleasant, but we made it, barely.
At the ranch it was nice to see everyone, (although we all live no more than 20minutes from each other in Anchorage) but it was sad to be around Grandma and Grandpa's house and not have them there, and realizing they will never be there again, we might not be back to the ranch as well.
Mom came back to Missoula with us, meaning the car was so full we were straddling flowers, computers and Don's shite for the whole time, insanity started to set in around Dillion, Montana. Being in Missoula brought the realization that Spring actually means green grass, baby animals and sun! I wanted to stay forever and ride bikes and laze in the sun.
Flew home to snow but not quite so much ice, a bike ride today past ice skaters at the Lagoon was a funny paradox.
Seth has called, sounds like things are looking up, a more interesting family that likes to go on runs with him, interesting tours and jungles. Hope to hear from him again soon.
