I put 200 miles on the car in Boise alone. Thanks to the fact I don't have to do it every day, I do love to drive.
Mom's house, post divorce. I'm a fan of older, rather than newer houses, but I always liked the details on this house. I'm not a fan of the new color though. And mom's landscaping was much better.

Simplot Hill. This is where we went ice blocking. I wonder if that is still done. I just googled the term "ice blocking" and it seems it is not an activity exclusive to Boise, Idaho. We always did it at night and I used to imagine J.R. Simplot listening to the laughter rolling up the hill to his home.
I drove up to Bogus Basin Ski Area, which I have not really visited before. I'm not a winter sports person. I was very surprised at how small and winding the road is. It was a fun drive, but I don't think I would want to do it in the winter.
I'm pretty sure this is where my mother bought me the kelly green polyester sweater I had to wear for band concerts at West Junior High. Just one block down the street was the place everyone got their letter jackets.
Boise is a lot prettier than I expected!
ReplyDeleteIce blocking! What a thrill!!! I hope its still happening. I was glad to see that Nelson's was still there, just as the letterman jacket place! Oh is that a sexist way of putting it? I think so, but that is what I always call them. Interesting.
