Day 255

Emmett to Boise. It’s been 36 days since I last posted at day 219. This is the longest that we’ve ever stayed in one place since we left Idaho in November. Apache Junction, Az was the next closest at about 30 days. You get really spoiled when you are in one place too long, especially when you have full hookups. We only have water and electricity here, so we need to conserve or we will fill the holding tanks too fast. Mom gave me a cool tower planter so I bought 12 markdown flowering plants to brighten up our asphalt jungle. I even bought a tomato plant that has already produced one tomato, and has about 15 green ones on it.
We met some great people in Emmett that we are definitely going to miss, but we swapped numbers so we can keep in touch. Michelle, Robert and Hunter lived right next door to us and hung out with us a bunch. Michelle and I went to a lavender farm in Payette, the Honey store in Fruitland, the Historical Museum in Emmett, and got to watch 3 hours of old cars cruising up and down Washington street, which was awesome, by the way.
Spent a lot of time with my mom. We resumed our Tuesday Bi-mart ritual and even won a couple of prizes. We had a yardsale, didn’t make a lot of money, but got to spend the whole day together catching up. Mom and I got to spend our birthdays together and Dale, my brother, took us out for dinner. Even got a chance to see my nephew, Sean.
Lee and I took my guy BFF, Randy out for his belated birthday lunch. Boy it was great to see him again. We talk on the phone about once a week, but it isn’t quite the same as being there in person.
We also went fishing at Black Canyon Dam. Didn’t get any bites, but had a good day anyway.
Lee had a couple of Nascar play dates with Uncle Jerry, so I was able to get some major cleaning done and rearranged the furniture so the old homestead looks a lot bigger than before. Definately appreciated the quiet time.
Went to my Urologist and got a clean bill of health, 5 years cancer free! No more cameras in my bladder. Hooray! Our regular GP doctor said we were both doing great, and my eye doctor said that contrary to the last doctor’s report I did not have cataracts. Double and triple hooray!
After so many months of small towns we reverted back to big city life again. Ah, the thrift stores. I am in heaven. Lee says it’s time to hit the road…too many thrift stores. LOL
Already had a couple of visitors at the new camp. Lee’s cousins Matt and Mary stopped by and said hi. Lee got to go tripping down memory lane with Mary. (I think he was happy to be away from mine and Michelle’s girl chatter). He’s looking forward to hooking up with more cousins now that we are back in town.
Our camp backs up to the Boise Greenbelt, which runs along the Boise River. We are looking forward to riding our bikes along the greenbelt and swimming in the river. I bought Dinky Dawg a cute little doggy life vest so he won’t be scared to get in the water. Wish us luck….
