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.

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 the people get there, how deep was it?   Today was the day I found the answers to these questions.  Here are some of the incredible pictures of the day.







 These are the three that went on this adventure with me.
Idaho is full of hidden gems of beauty.

I hope that all of you mothers out there had an as enjoyable day as I had.

Love you all ~~Mitzi

...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's not

Finally used

Four years ago, we bought Dana a snow blower for Christmas.  He never took it out of the box.  Claimed that it would be too noisy for the neighbors at the time of the morning that he like to shovel, which is usually around 6:00am.  I could never figure out if he really did like to shovel the snow or if he just wasn't sure about putting it together.  I really should have had Home Depot do that for us. In the fall, he decide to unpack it and see about putting it together.  He claimed that you need to have an engineering degree to put it together.  Well the heavy snow came and in the mist of both of us shoveling and not getting any where.  Paul, our neighbor, was out working on his driveway, so Dana told him if he helped him carry upstairs and got it going he could use it.  He was all for it.  They carried it up and by the time Dana got back from getting gasoline, Paul had it running. Need I say Dana feel in love with the snow blower.  Did several of the neighbors driveways
