Visitors From India

Our friends from India, Guna and Victoria, recently visited Boise. We shared an awesome meal together with our friends Nadine and Judy.

Colline and Tim visit

We have all enjoyed Colline's visit this week. We spent some relaxing days at Cascade and enjoyed the nice Boise weather. Marge and Mom teamed up and made a killer strawberry rhubard pie. Tim flew over from Seattle to spend a few days while mom is here.

Belated Holiday Photos

During Jean's recent visit to Idaho, I pulled some additional photos off of her camera that were taken during our holiday celebration up at Cascade. Enjoy! Lorna

Greetings all,
Jean, Carol's youngest daughter recently came up to Boise and Cascade for a visit. It was fun to have her around. She definitely kept things lively....and makes awesome mini-cheesecakes as well! Here is a photo of Grandma, Lorna, Ruth, and Jean in front of an old country store we happened upon outside of Donnely, ID. I know Jean has some photos to add and stories to tell about her visit...so...stay tuned! Lorna

Kin from Texas and Canada

A great time was had by all during the recent visit of "kin" from Texas and Canada. Paul/Connie,Ronda/Henry, Bill/Traci, Britian and Sarah were able to spend a week in Cascade and Boise. Wayne and Ruth showered them with Cascade hospitality. They did lots of things from hiking, canoeing, kayaking, Texas dominoes and Acquire...just to name a few. I'm hoping the Austin folks will add a few of their own photos to the blog. Beth, the important thing to remember is that your dad beat Larry in Acquire!

Rafting the Payette

On Memorial Day we went rafting down a stretch of the Payette River in Idaho. Hiwot is a student at BSU studying electrical engeering. She is living with us for the summer. Bill and Brittan are Larry's nephew and son visiting from Austin, Texas. As soon as we put in, dark clowds rolled over the mountains and it rained on us most of the way down, giving new meaning to the term "wet suits". Although we were soaked at the take out, a good time was had by all. Hiwot was quite adventerous. Although it is difficult to tell from the video clip, she was standing on the front of the raft, holding on to a rope while we were spinning the raft around in the water...thus, riding the bull. It is what you do when you get bored on a quiet stretch of river. With all of the snow runoff, the river is running fairly high so the rapids were class 2 and 3. Plenty of thrill for me! Lorna
