Idaho

The traditional Koch brothers hunting trip is on again this year and we were able to get away for the week.

Sunday
Goodbye happy Upland temporary home...

(don't you just love the daughter's cute decorations?)
...and Indiana sunsets.
Monday
We arrived at Mike's nephew's place mid afternoon.


And ever since the men have been hunting birds of some kind every day for as many hours as possible.

Tuesday
Mike, however, did help butcher great nephew Cody's first deer.


Wednesday
I try to get out and walk and enjoy the beautiful countryside, the different vegetation, the mountains in the distance, and the blue sky.


Then, a surprise on the path! Any ideas?


Thursday
Mike's artistic ceramic tiles found an appropriate home next to the photo of the three hunters.


Nephew Jeff, our host, hunter extraordinaire, would spend every waking moment out there if he could.


Friday
Meanwhile, the ladies knit. SIL Sandy is the knitting queen. She has completed several projects already.



Saturday
Hostess Suzan has the day off and is learning to make wrist warmers.


The guys are having fun and so are we gals--sharing fun times, good food and life stories...


...and the obligatory cribbage every evening!

  4. The bug was 2" long and I learned later it is called a red helmet cricket, harmless but scary.
