Three photos taken earlier today of our town after almost 5 days of Spring rain showers. Top photo shows the trees in front of the court house becoming green again after Winter.

















Middle photo shows the low rainy clouds that started out the day. Photo shows the towns clock tower, tops of some old brick buildings in town and highway 95/2 going North from the drop down into old town since it sits almost right on the river.
















And lastly looking East at low clouds and rain out towards Katka Mountain, in the clouds. Although no wind at the time, it has since gotten VERY windy with showers outside with the flags all standing straight out including the giant one in the photo that is at the Library. A more winter in most areas 48 degrees outside too!


















Stacy's the "big cheese" now. Jackie was in for about an hour this morning and got the last of her things and said her good byes, for now. Officially, Stacy still isn't the boss until midnight tonight. She's in her 'new' office cleaning up and seeing how she might change and rearrange things next week.
An interesting thing will be happening tomorrow night, several of Stacy's probationers wanted to attend the High School Prom tomorrow night. The Principal only gave the OK if Stacy would be there too to keep an eye on those kids. So we're going to the Prom to be with the security. It has been a pretty good joke with several of the court employees, going to the Prom and all. But I'm certain it will be interesting to see. I never went when I was in school, way too shy back then to have a girlfriend or even consider asking anybody to it. So, we'll see what happens.

Last August 3rd, the only car dealer in town, Riverside Motors had a fire destroy their offices and showroom. Above was during the fast moving 20 minute fire. Below was taken less than 15 minutes ago and shows their new showroom/offices just about ready to move into. The rubble from the burn down was gone in less than two weeks and crews worked all during the coldest part of winter building this new building. It was moved to the back of the property and cars were moved up to the front. Since the fire the 'offices' were moved out to trailers not visible in the photo but to the left of the new building. Riverside also lost the GM part of the sales and service end of it with the GM restructuring. Too bad for the owners of all the GM cars and trucks in the area, like us, we have to drive to Sandpoint to a dealer there for GM service etc. About 35 miles away now. Riverside is now just a Chrysler/Dodge dealer service location. Pretty building though! Photo below actually occurred ...

A Historic Day

Yes, one way or the other it will be a historic day today, Election Day in the USA, 2016. Either the "crooked" lifetime politician and first woman to be the president will win or the proven somewhat unstable "megalomaniac" and itching to start a war businessman will win. Personally, I voted for Clinton. A proven lifetime politician outweighs the alternative in my opinion. I heard a comment of with Clinton it will be "The Hunger Games" part one, with Trump it would be "The Hunger Games" part 2!! In our neck of the woods, early voting and absentee voting has been going on for over two months. We voted a couple of weeks ago. Above, in the lobby of the County Courthouse, four early voting stations had been set up for several weeks. 2 non the right and 2 on the left at the desk behind that sign. Below, I took a 'stealth' photo of some people voting. You never can tell in North Idaho what will set off people so I didn't want...

O.M.G.! I haven't posted since February!!!!!

I knew it has been a while, a long while. Not this long though! So, readers in the either, if there are any still around, what's been going on with our life adventure? The high points since February 2018: 1. We almost bought a new truck. 2. While we didn't finally buy a truck in late March, we traded in two-vehicles and bought a 2018 Toyota, Rav4 Hybrid, CUV ( C ompact 'sports'  U tility V ehicle). 3. We had a fantastic summer trip with the granddaughters spending 9 days in Yellowstone last July. The bunkhouse 5th wheel trailer we bought July 2017 right after our June trip in 2017, proved to be the BEST way to comfortably sleep and house the 5 of us, me, Stacy, Sandy, and the granddaughters, for a trip. 4. In August we got Stacy the one RV trailer she's been wanting for several years now, a Winnebago Micro-Minnie, a 20-foot long travel trailer that sleeps two. Stacy used it for a week-long business trip to Boise for state-level meetings just a couple of wee...
