Mike gets Roasted

 

 June first a group of Michael's friends had a surprise party to honor him and to share their best memories and stories.  It was a surprise and meant I had to tell a bunch of lies to get him there for the surprise to work.  So we went for a pre dinner drink to the Smiths cabin and found the group you see below along with their wives.   We laughed lots and had a wonderful dinner on the river.

Thanks to Paul, Dave, Rudy, Jeff, Gary, Geof and Ginty for a wonderful  roast of Michael and lots of laughs.

 The group had this one of a kind leather  fly box made for Mike...it is beautiful and has his name on the back.

                          Mikes big smile tells it all...he was very thrilled and humbled by all the attention.

 We had 4 trees planted around the tree house...they are doing wonderful since we have had tons of rain for the last few weeks.  They will grow quick and be good cover for the tree house.

I could not sign off without posting the same picture I always seems to send out...the view from the deck.  Can't help it as it is so beautiful and always a thrill to be there on a beautiful day.  We mowed and did some clean up work...always fun to do at the cabin.  Mike is heading to Seattle and then to Idaho for a week to fish with brother Pat and son Patrick.  I am sure they will have a great time and hope they catch lots of fish!!!
