Theeeerrrreee Back…..

The Balloon rally was this weekend.  I woke up at about 6:40 and decide to run over to Cresent Rim to take pictures.  I was sure that I was late enough that I wouldn’t be able to find a parking place. To my surprise I was ahead of the crowd.  I found an easy place to park and a short walk to the rim. 

This was the jets that did the fly by to start the Rally. IMG_0413

Here are they are starting to take off.

I decided to keep my camera turned on and out on the passenger set as I drove home.  It paid off.  This balloon was sitting in the middle of rode when I got to the light at Protest Hill and Boise Ave.

Mothers Day!

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path. — AGATHA CHRISTIE As Mother's day comes and goes, I can't help but reflect on how blessed I have been to be given the children I have.  They are both such different individuals and have unique qualities that make them special in each of their own ways. In addition to the two that I gave birth to, we are gaining an additional son that is as special and unique as our own.  We couldn't be more pleased with Tori choice of a soul mate.  We love all three of them to the moon and back. After a nice brunch, we headed off to hunt for waterfalls.  In my lifetime of leaving in Boise and the multiple trips to Utah since childhood, I have driven by this without ever stopping.  Malad Gorge was alway just a bridge that the freeway went over.  At 65mpd I always wondered what was down there, how did ...

Welcome to the deep end...

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let'...

With all the snow this winter, Boise is experiencing some flooding issues.  I've never remember this much water in the river.  Barber Park is under water.  Not sure we will be floating the river anytime soon.  And the rain continues.... Love you all ~~Mitzi
