Yesterday I was running considerably early to an appointment. On the rare occasion that happens, I like to take a “scenic” route – meaning driving through parts of town I normally don’t get to. On my leisurely drive, I happened on a store I’d never seen before that looked like something I might like to [...]

Something a little … different
Something I always look forward to reading in the Idaho Statesman is Jeanne Huff’s Treasure Hunt. Jeanne visits towns and places in the area and then writes about the little treasures and finds she found on her trip.
This week she did not disappoint. I’ve lived in the Boise area most of my life, and here [...]

Sweep Thanksgiving Under the Rug
We decorated our tree this morning. It was the culminating event to the completion of all indoor decorations. The stockings are hung over the fireplace with care. The rug has been vacuumed and the floor is now bare (i.e. swept). The only thing left is exterior lights….oh ya, and presents.
This is the Thanksgiving weekend tradition [...]

Where to Ski
It’s been longer than I care to admit since I’ve been up on downhill skis – primarily due to a growing family! I’m hopeful to get back up this year… In fact, driving up to Bogus yesterday to get our family Christmas picture taken really made be yearn for that experience again…
Anyway, for you die-hards…or [...]

Why I didn’t go shopping this morning…

Here’s the story link… http://www.idahostatesman.com/eyepiece/story/218748.html
If you go to KTVB’s website, you’ll find some pretty great photos/video of [...]

Freedom (thanks military guys and gals!)
Family (we have a great one – including the in-laws on both sides )
Humor (I’m not [...]

Designer Sale – Expo Idaho
I just received the following e-mail from a friend of mine about a 4-day designer sale at Expo Idaho. If you’ve been around Boise long enough to remember the infamous Robert Comstock sale, you may have an inkling of what is in store.
If you’re looking for amazing deals, shop early!
Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you know about [...]

Turkey and popcorn, anyone?
Do you think that popcorn was first introduced at the first “thanksgiving” dinner in 1621? It’s a popular myth that’s become a tradition in many homes. http://www.mayflowerhistory.com/History/thanksgiving.php
Perhaps your among the many who eat your turkey dinner with all the fixin’s and then, it’s time for the main event… Popcorn (and a movie – or football!).
Well, just [...]
