Yesterday was a long day... Sarah took Matt and I to the airport at 5am (EST) and after one flight to Chicago and another to Boise we arrived at the Boise Airport around noon (MST). My bag unfortunately was still in Chicago and will be delivered to Riggins Chevron sometime Sunday. United was surprisingly proactive and called our names over the loudspeaker to let us know that our bags had not yet left... Matt and I took a cab to the Motel to pickup the Jeep and then went to Hooters for wings... Afterwards we met briefly with Tony who led us to Lowes so that we could purchase some sanders for our future deck project... Then after fueling up we headed towards Riggins stopping at Ponderosa Sports near Horseshoe Bend for a couple of hours to talk with Cliff regarding Matt's first revolver... After much pondering and discussion, Matt decided on the one he wanted for his birthday... He contributed $160 towards the cost and Stacey and I covered the remainder... We then continued on to Riggins arriving around 8pm... Once we arrived at the Ranch I had to deal with the extremely sad news of informing Matt of the loss of our Dog Max as we stopped by his grave... Matt was understandably very upset of the lost of his friend of almost 10 years... I barbecued steaks on the grill while Stacey fixed baked potatoes, asparagus, mushrooms and corn on the cob... She had a birthday pie prepared for Matt but the news of the loss of Max was too much to bear and after looking at some photos of Max online, Matthew went to bed to be alone and deal with the loss of his friend... It is great to be home and back together with my Stacey... However, it's been a very long day mixed with many emotions... Time will help mend the wounds of the loss of our loved ones but will never fill the void... No doubt in my mind that Max is with Sheri...
Have a wonderful day... De
