We arrived in Florence Montana on Monday around 6:30 p.m. Tim's cousin Pat Winters, his wife Laurie, their two boys Jack and Wyatt and their dog Roxanne live in a gorgeous log home our here. We cooked dinner and hung out on their deck until about 11:00, just catching up and relaxing. It's Tuesday afternoon now. The Winters have been gone all morning and Tim and I have just been relaxing. It was so luxurious to get up this morning and not have to pack anything. We both took long showers, caught up on some bill paying, did some research into Glacier and Seattle and have been basically just chilling on the deck. I feel like a new person. It is so incredibly quiet and beautiful here. From their deck you can see mountains all around, many still covered with snow. The only sound I can hear right now are a few birds in the distance. I think Montana is one of those places where people say "why the heck would anyone want to live in Montana??!?!?!" After being here for 24 hours I can completely understand.
