Idaho - part 4

Happy 4th of July! I hope this day will remind you of the amazing America we live in. What we have been through, how hard our forefathers fought for freedom and that God is in control!

So, last blog I told you about the sight-seeing we were going to do, Idaho thought it would be better to have a historic heat wave, so we went to my mom's and played cards, ate dinner, talked and laughed throughout last week. We have been playing Negative 5, a game that Tom and Tracy taught us. Then we changed it up and played 5 Crowns, a game that Fonda taught me. So much fun, I had to go and buy it on Amazon.  My mom just ordered the card game as well!


We also had a project for my mom (like always), she sewed some sunscreens for us so we (meaning hubby) could put them up to help keep the RV cooler. They sure came in handy with this crazy weather. I am so grateful for her many talents, one of them being sewing! Thanks Mom! You ROCK!




Hubby also wanted a cover for his ladder so that when it was against the RV it wouldn't scratch it and the wind wouldn't blow it off, mom fixed that for him as well. She also made me a Halloween and Thanksgiving tablecloth. I still love to decorate, and it is fun to have a pretty table for the month. Here is what 4th of July looks like. The screen on the left is hubby's new weather station that he got for Father's Day.


I totally felt like we have eaten our way through Coeur d'Alene. We made it to 6 out of the 7 restaurants that the "Road Food" book suggested. The 7th place is only open for breakfast and lunch, so we didn't quite make it there - next visit here we will need to go. 
 
Hubby's birthday was July 2nd and Dave's was July 3rd, so Mom, Dave, Hilda, Hubby and I went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse. It was a nice evening. I truly can't believe our time in Idaho is over, my how the month flew by! 
 
We spent one night in Pasco, WA at a KOA, we were going to stay at a Harvest Host location, but without hook-ups it would have been way to hot! Sunday, we are staying at the Harvest Host location "SakeOne". I will have pictures on my next blog.

If there is something special you would like me to take a picture of, please let me know!
 
Drop a comment for me and let me know your thoughts on the blog.
 
God, the RV & me...

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
