It's one of those 'can't keep up' months!

Mainly because it has been busy and the 11 day trip that starts almost any minute to Boise for the annual convention. A lot happening that we've been trying to get settled at least for the next 11 days, it has been difficult to have that work out.
Stacy has been stressed because the committee she's on for the convention has been dropping out, at the 11th hour! Latest is the group secretary that emailed Stacy yesterday afternoon to say she was no longer going to attend, and could she deal with all her work too? So Stacy has been trying to get almost 200 name tags printed and cut, we'll need to stop at Staples on the way out and pick up the holders, we'll be reimbursed though!, and still meet with other people along the way to pick up things they want taken since they're flying to Boise.

At home the last few weeks, we've been going through our storage building and pairing down stuff that we haven't for the most part gotten into since we moved up here in 2006. A lot to the local auction and a lot in the trash now with the way wetter winters than California had wrecking a lot of papers in the building.

Well Stacy just got back so we're getting going. I'm "hoping" to post while in Boise. I'll have to see!

Have fun in Boise! Eat some "taters" for me.

Good to catch up with you on your birthday, Tad. Stacy, your reference to me as a "young person" still has you in my good graces:)

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...
