We ended-up in Shelby, Montana on Saturday evening and so we were first in search of a motel, which it didn't take long to find...as there were several. Then we began making a few phone calls that led us to Harry and Jean Benjamin. Their daughter (in pink) is Marlene, and she labors in the Philippines and is on her home visit this year so we got to meet and see her too. Harry has a heart condition so wasn't able to make it to meeting so we followed Jean and Marlene to meeting, and Jean's sister came over after meeting for lunch also and had lunch with all of us. Her name is Joy. Joy lost her husband not too long ago to cancer. We enjoyed getting to know these folks. The train and toys on the train were all built by Harry. He's quite the handyman. These folks used to live on the Devon Convention grounds and a few years ago, they moved off and into Shelby. Now their grandchildren are living there.
Beautiful drive after we left Shelby, MT and our lunch and visit with the Benjamins. We made it to a Motel 6 in Coeur d'Alene, ID for the night, then an easy drive that Monday to Kennewick that Monday to see Daniel in his new apartment. (Motel 6's work good for us with our dog, Jack...)
