Well, I am learning and I haven't figured out how to get the writing next to the photo.  The reason Paul and Nicole are on my blog is because I could find the picture - wish I had one of them and Carson and Brynlee but none the less we stopped in Boise to see them on our way to Portland where I trained Lindsey to teach the SEI classes.  We had a great time in Boise. Paul and Nicole treated us like royalty.  They have moved into a much bigger house and our guest bedroom was better than a hotel suite.  They bought all the required veggies and fruits for the 'weird' mother-in-law and Nicole fixed me this awesome vegetable dish that is supposed to be available at Albertson's and I have never been able to find. I ate the whole thing!!  They sent us on our way with all the fruits and veggies necessary for a buffet at Chuck-A-Rama.  We stayed with them two nights.  Their back door opens onto a street where Sid parked his 'mini cooper.'  Carson loved all the buttons, knobs and switches - especially the horn.  He and Grandpa Thatcher had such a good time playing that they left on one of the switches and the next morning the battery was dead.  Luckily Paul's truck had a big enough battery to charge the semi.  We went to lunch with Paul and Carson while Nicole took Brynlee to the doctor where she received a shot for her bronchial tubes and Nicole got the big antibiotic pack for her Strep throat.  Pretty good when you have company when you've got Strep and a sick baby.  It didn't seem to bother them - they took good care of us anyway.  We went to Portland, beautiful weather whole way there and back - not a drop of snow. It is beautiful scenery.  Lindsey was easy to train.  In fact she did such a good job she out sold me on coupon returns 220 to 87 - not bad for a beginner.  She is going to be a fantastic addition.  Her friend Mandy is going to replace one of the teachers that quit and we are training her on Monday.  One of these days I am not going to have to go.  We that is quit enough for my first effort.  I already wrote something and lost it somewhere - it must be floating out there in the blogosphere somehwere. 

Trip to the north land via Boise to Portland and back.
