Gleason Visit July 2021

It finally happened! Michel and Steve bought a lot in Idaho on the Pend Oreille River!  It will eventually be a Pacific Northwest home for them! They aren't moving here but they will be able to spend more time in the Pacific NW.  Yeah!

Surprise! Brendan, Steve's cousin, was visiting too.  We didn't know that he and his wife Leslie moved to Spokane.
Tony and Mike in a deep conversation about the state of our country.  At least I think that was the topic of conversation.  They could have been talking about the weather! Who knows.
Pops and Steve!  

There is a bond between Mike and Michel over this beer that warranted a picture. Apparently Michel introduced Mike to Stella.  
After checking out the lot we headed to a shady gazebo.  You can see the hazy sky.  Summer fires!  


Ever so adorable!
Another surprise.  Brendon and Leslie have an 8 month old baby girl!
Grandpa Mike and Rivers!
Oh, the fishing.  Michel, Mike and Rivers love it!  Not so much for me.  I was a spectator and picture taker. 

I have a bite! 

This is Rivers' fish.  It looks big because of the way the picture was taken but it wasn't.  All fish had to go back in the water since there was no place to cook them.  All catches were too small to keep anyway!
There it is! A boy and his fish.  
Success for Michel too.  

This critter kept appearing around the dock.  Michel thought it was an otter.  I thought it was odd that there was an otter in this river.  Mike said it was a muskrat.  That made more sense. The muskrat was gathering things to make a home under the dock.  

You can't really see what the muskrat has in it's mouth here.  Mr. Muskrat had seaweed or a plant it was dragging along.  
Until next time.  It was a great visit, full of laughter and joy!
