Friday, December 25, 2009

The kids came and we had a wonderful dinner: tomato soup, crackers and cheese, pigs-in-a-blanket, little smokies in barbeque sauce and pineapple, cheese fondue, jello, and of course, Lefsa!  The feast was mostly created by Daughter Caitlin.  Then came the opening of presents, and a good time was had by all.  It had started to […]

It was foggy the day before I left Boise. (All photos from the Nikon Coolpix L11 on Auto!) Standing upright in the fog. I think they are trying to say something here… Downtown on a foggy night. * ~Curtis in Idaho! {!-{>

Day 356: Coming Home from Boise

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

A few of the things I saw on the way home… (All photos from the Nikon Coolpix L11 on Auto!) I knew sheepherders had to move those wagons somehow, but I always imagined a couple of mules or a herd of sheep pulling them… Triple trailers on two lanes are TOO BIG! Looking back as […]

Day 354

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

Waterfalls in Eagle, Idaho. (Nikon Coolpix L11 on Auto!) These had the water shut off.  I have seen lots with the water on and lots of ice.  I have been told this is the little Idaho banana belt, so I don’t think they think about shutting the fountains off for winter. (Nikon Coolpix L11 on […]
