Up in Idhao

Good morning all,
Judy and I have been having a great time this week. On Monday evening we had card club at Paper Pals, (everyone makes a card and brings the ingredients for everyone to create that card), We had 7 people so we went home with 6 new cards. Really fun group and fun activity.

Yesterday we met Judy's friends Ellen and Tricia for lunch and then Ellen, Judy & I went scouting out fun little shops. Ellen loves the back roads up here so she took us to a farm that the lady sells fresh flowers and the has a cute shop where she creates beautiful wreaths and other goodies out of dried flowers. It was quaint and cute. We then went into Pullman, Washington to some of the cute shops there. Found a really pretty watch and a rooster for my wall in the condo. There are several shops full of beautiful things. They took me to see several grizzly bears at the Bear Research Institute at Washington State University. We then continued on our back road journey to a nursery filled with plants and a cute gift shop, where I got some vegetables that look SO REAL.. to put in a basket in my kitchen. We were then off back to Moscow and a stop at Starbucks.. We go there so often the girls even know my drink now and start to fix it upon our arrival "a green tea frappachino". Last night Judy, her husband Jim and I went out to dinner at the "Fireside Grill" and then to see "The Bourne Ultimatum". Fast moving, intense movie..Loved it. We have been to see 4 movies now..Hairspray, No Reservations, Rattioulle and last night. Movies are one of my favorite activities. Today we are just relaxing and then this evening we are having dinner catered in. Judy and Jim bought the dinner at an auction a while back. My nephew Jeff and his family are joining us.

I found a new series of Amish centered books up here and am anxious to start reading them. I loved the series by Beverly Lewis and this new author looks great also.

I really have been sleeping in every day, it is so much cooler and quiet and I sleep in until 7:30 or 8:00 every day..

Kristan called and her daughter Morgan had to have emergency appendectomy last night. She woke up yesterday in severe pain and Kris took her to the emergency room and they determined it was her appendix. It seems that if it is going to go wrong in her body it will. Talked to Kristan last night and she said the surgery went well, and Morgan was resting well.

All the news for today.
