"no"
"Idaho?"
"You don't know what this is?"

INSIDE were some of the most BEAUTIFUL potatoes I have EVER SEEN fresh from Idaho!!! and Huckleberry Jam, where I spent a Christmas Holiday, the last as a single person. Raleighdon and I had just started dating, so he was not invited. We each pined away for each other that Christmas, but Cascade was SO BEAUTIFUL.

I really appreciate the book, we will read it and pass it on (I wanted to read it!) It's Lance's book it's not about the bike AND some tea, AND some nice shopping bags.
Interestingly enough, she also sent me some dry hashbrowns! We'll try those for breakfast VERY SOON.
Flyby, you might not know it, but I lived in Idaho for almost 10 years, met my DH there and had my first child. Your gifts from Idaho really touched me. Thanks!
and thanks for the Montana Waterbottle!


and all this on top of the cute bike teeshirt!!!

I am so glad that you like all of your goodies. I had a lot of fun figuring out what to put in the package.

Where in Idaho did you live?

I love living here. I enjoy the open space, the scenery, the fishing, the mountains, the recreation, and the people. Where I live, I can drive two hours in any direction and be somewhere spectacular - Yellowstone National Park in one direction, Sun Valley resort in another, Salmon River area in another, a beautiful lake called Bear Lake in another, the state capital of Utah is about three hours away, and the state capital of Idaho is about four hours away. It is such a treat to have that much fun waiting right around the corner.

Payette Lake was a beautiful experience this summer and I am glad that you got the opportunity to stay there. I have been there twice now. The first experience was with a camp for adults who were mentally ill - it was a blast. That would be a great place to pine away for a man!! Did you ride you bike around the lake? We didn't bring bikes this summer because we took a van and to save on gas and had it packed to the ceiling with the tent and other camping stuff for the five of us. I don't think we could have fit a rubber snake in the back if we tried!!!

Have a great day!
