Cutting the Cord in Boise

Leaving Boise is turning out harder then we had anticipated. Our old neighbors threw us a going away party last night, and it was such fun, but did have us feeling a bit mauldin on the way home, knowing how we will miss them all. Didn't help to be driving into a beautiful Boise sunset as we drove down off the mesa. Jet and I had a nice run into the foothills this morning (Hull's Gulch) and it hit me hard how I will miss these foothill trails.

But life is full of changes and we are thankful for all the great folks we met in our five years in Boise. Suzy starts her last week of work of tomorrow. She is still grinding hard right to the end, you would think she was going to be back next year with the work she is putting in on next year's master schedule. Two speeds, that girl, peddle to the metal, and full stop (that would be reading). Speaking of which we have started a new form of reading, very RV functional I might add. Its called the Kindle by Amazon. Our neighbors, Joe and Janie, recommended it when they saw me installing Suzy's library in the RV. One little Kindle holds over 1500 books. So we won't be dragging the rear bumper because the Kindle is putting on weight. Fun to read with, even will go to voice when you are preoccupied, switching back and forth as you prefer, perfect for traveling.

Bought a four pound tub of strawberries yesterday that wouldn't fit in the refrigerator, so being a dedicated consumer, I ate the whole four pounds worth. Not quite as good as those copper country sparkle berries but a close second. Suzy bought a twelve pack of Miller 64's but wimped out on consuming them all cause they wouldn't fit in the refrigerator. She tells me she can drink three of them and have less calories then a glass of wine, but she slurs more then on the wine. So we are slowly learning how to cut down on our Costco lifestyle for a handy mart mentality.

25 days to the open road and counting.
