Back to 72 degrees

Arrived back home last night from a great vacation up north with Judy and family. Had a wonderful time in Idaho relaxing and chilling out (-18 degrees).. Went up to see snow and I got to see SNOW..

Got to eat at some great restaurants while I was there. Attended several basketball games at the University of Idaho, both women's and men's. The last game I went to was between the U of I and Boise State..Packed stands, LOUD crowds and we WON.. Was so much fun.

Got to have Brunch on Sunday at a darling little bistro called Silos. wonderful quiche and bagel.

Read books to Judy's grandaughter R's pre-school class. I read the book "Cactus Hotel' all about the desert in the southwest. I taught them how to say saguaro and told them about the coyotes that are outside my bedroom each evening "howling away". This is a tradition when I go up to visit Judy. We always take a morning and read to the class. When we come in I even get greeted by name, since I have been there so many times.

Walden Books was closing their Moscow store and that was an invitation to stock up on book at a super discount.. We also spent a morning working on projects at Paper Pals Scrapbook store and I also took a Valentine Mini Book class that Judy was teaching there. I always have a great time in Idaho and love spending time with Judy... She will be coming down to visit me in "19" days for movies, shopping and lunch & dinners out.. She is anxious for warm weather..
