Huckleberries!!

Huckleberries in Idaho! What a treat to actually go up into the mountains and enjoy some time with my little sister. She wanted to get huckleberries for our Thanksgiving dinner ... and I was more than willing to go help. Beautiful Idaho! It was a gorgeous weekend for a quick get away from Texas to visit my temporarily widowed sis. Misty would sit in just the right spot on the mountain side so her cell phone would have coverage. There was the slight chance her hubby would call from boot camp. Guess what ... he did! It's been fun to be apart of the Richmond's lives. Seems I have been around a lot when they were long distances from each other and catching up. Reminded me of the good 'ol times in Texas.



So not only did I get some huckleberries to bring back to Texas, we had some Idaho Fall's Hong Kong fried rice and sweet and sour chicken for lunch WITH a coveted and rare Cherry Ironport from Scotty's Hamburgers ... AND we stopped for some "Squeaky Cheese" and freshly made waffle cones at Reed's Dairy. We couldn't leave out a baseball game to top it off! Yes Idaho Falls has a very nice baseball stadium and it was such a beautiful evening out.



We had homemade huckleberry muffins for Sunday morning breakfast, had a nice walk around the neighborhood, and then I made a mad dash for Salt Lake to catch my late afternoon flight.

What a recharge to my soul to have been back in the Idaho hills and mountains. Thanks Woo!
