All by myself

Allie's back at BYU-Idaho, Paige and Chris and the little ones are back in South Pasadena, Eric and Tanya are moving on with their lives and I am left to figure out what to do with myself.  Maybe I'm crazy, but I decided to spend a couple of weeks at our house in Wallace, Idaho.  

I told everyone that I would blog every day.  HA!  I think they saw through that one.  However, with my limited technical skills and even more limited photography skills (think camera phone), I have set aside some time today to try to tackle this task.

Gypsy and I went on a walk this morning and I snapped some photos.


Our house is a very, very, very fine house.

It's very cold here.  Can you tell?

The Stardust Hotel sign and the Red Light Garage are two of the most popular photographs that come out of Wallace.  The huckleberry pancakes at the RLG are the best ever.  I thought they must have some special recipe until I saw the owner walking into the cafe with a giant bag of instant pancake mix and frozen huckleberries straight from his trip to the local grocery store.  Oh well.  Everything tastes better when someone else prepares it, right?

The Stardust Motel and the Red Light Garage.  


I've never had the opportunity to eat at this fine establishment, but I'd be very interested to see how Mexican and Chinese food go together.





More random pics.








This church is on my street.  The stained glass windows make me happy.



 Ok, it took way too much brain power to post this blog.  And the photos are crap.   But aren't you proud of me for trying?
