Fun in Idaho

I just love seeing Karen sitting next to me in my truck so I had to take this picture before we went out the other day to go shopping. The snow has been getting deeper around here and with the wind there were some rather deep drifts as you can see on the roof of her house.

Christmas is over for another year and soon the year will be over too and since it has been such a bad one for Karen we can say good riddance in about a week.

The pictures on this page are from the past few days, I just haven't had time to post any so I'm playing catch up. There is one of us sitting at the kitchen table having coffee and checking email, of course I'm not in the picture, I took it. That's Cody, Karen's Grandson sitting there with her.

I also wanted to get one of the scene out her back window, which is the next one down. I really want to see this view when it is green.

I'm having such a great time here and I'll be having to leave soon to go back to Susanville and I'm NOT looking forward to that at all! The problem with life is that nothing is final or static. There is always another chapter or an end to the good times. In the same respect there is always an end to the bad times too so I guess it all evens out, huh? Nevertheless my trip here will be ending soon and I'll have to head back down the road, a drive that will not be a fun one for me.


But for now, it's all good. I took a picture the other day of Karen wrapping presents on my bed downstairs. I like this spot and it's right in front of the downstairs wood stove and if you look closely you'll see I had a fire going. I really miss wood heat and I have been making fires regularly while I have been here and they make the place nice and cozy!

Hey Tom, check out the gas prices here. It was $1.41 the other day when I got gas so it has gone up a couple of pennies I see. I gave the lady $20 and actually got change after filling my tank from near empty. It's been a while since I did that.

One of the attractions in this town is the fountain in this last picture. I don't know what it looks like when the water isn't hard but it's quite interesting when it's all frozen. Karen had showed me a picture of this but there was nothing to give it any perspective and I didn't know how big it was until I saw it. There is a round-about that goes all the way around it and it's on the way to Walmart so I've been there several times. I took that picture as I was driving since I couldn't talk Karen into getting out to pose for me. (She didn't want to climb over the big pile of snow, and I don't blame her.)
