Back from Boise

I had a great time in Boise. On Friday I spent time with Tom and Sue and their grandkids, and Joe and Donna and their son, Adam. We watched Joe, Donna and Adam play softball. This brought back memories of watching Joe play on the Detachment 3 softball team at Mtn. Home AFB in the late 70's and early 80's. Then we went to the Burger -n- Brew for dinner. It was so nice to see these families. Joe and Tom really helped me to be a success in the Air Force and I have absolutely no doubt that if I hadn't worked with these guys I would never have had the success that I did. And Sue and Donna helped me to grow into a woman, from the silly, naive teenage girl I was when I first met them. I have such good memories of our times together and am just so happy that we have been able to stay in touch all these years.

We are planning on having a Det. 3 reunion next year. I think that will be a blast and look forward to helping plan it and also participating.

I spent Saturday with Cindy and her girls, Savannah and Paxton. They are such sweet girls and beautiful to boot! Cindy started IdahoScrappers six years ago and it has been a great time for me, and has enabled me to grow as a scrapbooker, by leaps and bounds. We went to dinner at Goodwood's, which is a BBQ place. I shared a plate of baby back ribs with Heather H. I had a great time reconnecting with my IS friends.

We cropped at Cut n' Paste. It is a very nice store and I did spend a little $ but not much since in the summertime my budget is pretty tight. We did a "Trading Faces" swap where we send photos to someone else and they send us their photos. Then we do a layout with them and return them at this crop. It is a little scary because you really want the other person to love your layout, but everyone has their own taste so you never know. My layout was done by Jennifer G. and it was so cute. The photos are of Chelsea and my Godson, Elias playing in the water. The layout I did for Jennifer was of her kids and sister-in-law and I won most innovative!

All in all the trip was wonderful, the drive both ways was uneventful, but it is good to be home.

Tomorrow I am going running for the first time in 2 weeks. Hope I don't keel over!
