Idaho scrapbook
(before moving to Georgia)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While volunteering at Idaho Humane Society I found
a special friend in Dee. Dee invited us to
Thanksgivings and Christmas in her and Scott's house
on the mountain. In the picture I look tired because I
had a cold. Their house is perfect for curling up with a
big mug of hot cocoa! After returning to Idaho I have
been back for several Thanksgivings, always having a
great time.


I also met David and Paula Burr in connection with the
IHS website, but they later moved out of state.
One of the things I share with David and Paula is a
love of nature and seeing new places. Here are Paula
and Emmy out hiking in the snow.
My mom and dad came
to visit and do a bit of
traveling shortly after
Mark and I moved to
Idaho. Later Mom
visited again and that
time she brough my
lovely niece Victoria,
who is now a tall,
pretty young woman.
Another good thing sbout meeting people in a new place is that
you can get some good pointers. Without someone telling us
about the Garden Valley/Payette Middle Fork hike with the
beautiful scenery, shallow river, and hot springs and pools, we
would never have found it. Both Mark and I
and the dogs loved
the trip.
Hiking in the snow can be hard work but the dogs sure enjoy it
- as do I. It's hard to beat a sunny day in snowy Idaho foothills!
