Weekend Visitor

We watched Haley , while her Mom went to Wedding party. I had already started to pick-up, so the house was partially child proofed. Anyway Haley found enough "stuff" to interest her. We were able to see all her new tricks, like "touchdown", which i think her Grandpa enjoyed as much as she did. I even dug out a truck that Tyler played with when he was young and would visit, and I believe the Barbie doll was Stephanies', which I recovered from the VH house. I believe Haley had a good time, I know that Dick and i certainly loved having her spend time with us. 

John Kerry

John Kerry getting last minutes instructions from aide. We went to a Meet John Kerry Event last night. It was really neat. I couldn't push thru the crowd to get my pic with JK, anywayI was too shy for that. 

The Sun Sets In Idaho

Samantha gets her sunset swim in before the Sun sets. The Thomas Girls......Woz took this picture. is that a halo over my head? Damn, I am good! 

A Day on the Bluff

Mom is putting up a little resistance. Bette wants her to have Fruit Loops, but Mom is insisting upon Coca Puffs. Behind that door in the kitchen is the Pantry which holds about 2 dozen different types of cereal, the Eagney Girls would love all the choices that Aunt Bette has! Pam relaxes, while Steph begins her up-river swim. The house is actually on a Bluff, as you can see it is a long way down. 

Tour of the Best Elementary School in Idaho

Today Woz showed us around Fruitland ES. He has 700 students in pre-K thru Fifthe Grade. He is very proud of his students. He has his own program, so that no child will be left behind. How embarrassing, for your grandfather to be the Principal. That is Samantha on the far right, in her reading class. Stephanie was very impressed with the cafeteria which serves not only the ES but the High School kids. I would say those ladies in the cafeteria have their hands full! Brodie was a good sport about being dragged around Fruitland. 

Scooterville, idaho

Today Dad took us on a tour of the neighborhood. I think that was the first time I have seen him on the "Scooter". I am not sure how much he rides it, but maybe he should volunteer for the "Neighborhood Watch" since he was able to tell us much about the "Hood". Afterwards Dad parks his scooter, while Pam works out on Woz's new gym equipment. Woz has built a sauna in the garage, I didn't try it out but they said it was HOT! 

Arrival in Idaho

We arrived in Idaho on 9/6, incase you were wondering where I have been. Stephanie and I met in Las Vegas , and went on to meet Pam in Boise . So all 4 sisters where in idaho to greet Mom for her morning breakfast. (which on this day was before noon). Tony brought Brodie over so he could get a head start on the big game between Boise and Oregon. We were so happy we couldn't leave Brodie alone. We passed him around and around, I think he got a half-hour nap that day. Woz and Bette have a beautiful home, and we were so delighted to be invited to spend time with them and MOM and DAD.
