The Peavy Family Blog: We Be Driftin’

How fortunate are we to have friends living in the mountains who willing host us several times a year? These getaways are even more special during these most unusual times and time with close friends is so cherished.

Our visit was like many others - card playing, good meals and catching up. However, we had a special treat this time as we learned Dave and Rachel bought a cabin in Fulford - an old mining town that now is home to a variety of cabins. We had been up here before with them for a party, but this time we took the ATVs up the back roads as the main road was under construction. It was a beautiful (and fun!) drive up to the cabin. We had lunch, played some cards and drove the 4-wheeler around (with an abundance of caution - we each reminded them of the accident one of the neighbor boys had on one). What a unique way to spend the day. T-man was hesitant to drive, but he took a few turns and started to enjoy it.

Marshall and I both took off Monday and the boys didn’t have school so it was the perfect long weekend and truly a vacation-like experience. When D-man and I were out on the ATV, I said, “we have a pretty good life.” And D-man said, “heck yeah!” I’m glad he realizes it.
