Tuesday

Bill and Alice got here yesterday.  We had a wonderful visit.  We went to the house, and Barrie and Bill loaded the antique sewing machine in their van, my fancy Singer sewing/embroidery machine, the old hand pump from the farm where Bill and I grew up, plus several other things they saw.  The van was pretty full by the time we got it all in.  There was just enough room for Alice!!

Barrie came to the apartment for supper.  I had pork loin, and peas and potatoes.  Not bad.  We all enjoyed sitting around talking after supper.

 

Alice complained that she didn't see any wildlife between here and Idaho Falls.  As if on command, this nice little buck showed up outside my window.  He didn't stay long, just stopped in to say hello.

 

When the couch is made out into a bed, it pretty well takes up the whole living room.  Bill and Alice said it was very comfortable.  It appears you are looking through a doorway into another room, but that is just Alice and me, reflected on the window glass.

After breakfast, Alice and I went downtown and stopped in one shop.  We drove around a bit, saw all the new construction, and drove out to the elementary school. 

Then we went to the Food Basket, where Alice got two pairs of jeans.  Judi had gone to Rendezvous Pointe, probably for lunch.  The Food Basket was full of screaming, running kids, all of whom were knocking things off the shelves, playing with things, throwing them at each other, and being totally obnoxious.  The two women who seemed to in charge of them, were on their cell phones, not talking English.  Didn't take me long to want to be out of there.
