Just got back from a ten day road trip...so fun!!! First off to Pocatello Idaho for business, then to Payette Idaho to hang out with some dear friends (Jim & Carol). They moved to Payette a couple of years ago from CA, purchased a 5 acre farm and are living out their dream. We were so thrilled to see the "Forgey Farm", meet their new friends and attend their new church.

Good friends, Wayne and Connie, (who now live in Medford OR) once lived in Payette, and originally from CA too. They joined us in Payette, so exciting to spend time with them.

Off we went to their friend's (Wayne & Pat) for a Valentine's Day dinner party. A delicious "Italian" dinner, games, laughter and love was in the air! Then to a beautiful tea house the next day for lunch. And another dinner party hosted by more of their friends...this time a "Mexican Fiesta", so good, great folks!!! What a wonderful time we all had.

Then off to Portland OR for more business and to visit with Pat's family. Great to see my niece (Madison), her and her room-mate showing us their apartment. And of course more eating at "Olive Garden". Pat spent time with his folks, while I was recovering from a bad meal the night before, whew not fun.

Then off to Tri-Cities WA to make a "surprise" visit to my sister's. So fun to just show up on a whim...and surprise the heck out of her and the family. LOL We stayed the night and enjoyed one another's company and more food!!! My nephew Josh and his girlfriend were there also, it was such a family affair.
