November 24 Montana Friends

You have heard us talk about the Montana Forum that we belong to called M.O.C. (Montana Owners Club). We have attended several of their rallies and made some wonderful friends. So when the opportunity presents itself, we try to contact people when we are in their home area. The full timers we meet on the road. Today we drove over to Bakersfield to visit with Dennis & Mary Kay Hill. We were also greeted by Buddy and Bandit, their two dogs (dachsund and a dachsund/chihuahua mix). Since they are so young they welcomed us royally. We found out that Dennis and Mary Kay knew our relatives the Wilm's. Small world.

After visiting and sharing adventures etc, we went to lunch at B.J.'s where their son in law is manager. Had a wonderful lunch and we all shared a dessert called Pizzookie. It is a chocolate chip cookie formed in a small pizza pan and topped with a scoop of ice cream. The cookie is warm and oh my gosh... the picture shows it all!!!! We also met their daughter Heather, who is a manager of another restaurant in the area. A very nice couple and parents to two beautiful children.

Pizookie, one chocolate chip and the other white chocolate/macadamia nut.
We got back to their house and found this. The boys had taken my bag and annihilated everything paper in it. It doesn't show the knitting removed and the skein of wool across the room. Lets see there was kleenex, washups and a TLC bar (guess what they were after). No damage done to the knitting and everything else is replaceable. The final two pages of a book I was reading were not all found. So I can make up my own ending!!!!

Here are the culprits!! Buddy & Bandit. Don't they look guilty...

We left there about 4 and scooted up the road to the Flying J. Filled up at 3.44/gal and headed west to Paso Robles. It was clear crisp night and a huge harvest moon was in the sky. Another great ending to a wonderful day.
