Hey guys whats up !!!! We are just having too much fun for words. I shall give it a try.
We arrived in Couer D Alene ID. Tues. June 16. Our sweet friend Mary greeted us in an Albertson parking lot and lead us to Cougar Bay, where we would call home for a few days. That evening we got together for a wine and cheese social. We sat on their pier nice summer breeze with a new scent to us fresh mountain air. The wildlife kept us entertained the large beaver swimming, peaking up from the water to make sure he was being watched, many geese and babies every so slowly floating on the water. The sun begins to set and the water is smooth as glass the city lights reflection sparkles on the water. Just a perfect ending to the day.

We woke Wed. morning relaxed around the house, had our morning coffee by the lake. A new days beginning just awesome, how the sun creeps over the lake, birds, geese and other wildlife begin to stir. The beauty of life.

We finally dressed and explored the lake which is about a 80 mile round trip. The shore drive is so wonderful and just full of adventure, farms with elk, then farms with cows, the grandeur of the homes you just wonder

maybe this is Bill Gates weekend home. We were told the Baldwin brothers have visited this area. John Travolta mom lives here's and John Elway has a home on the lake. As our drive continues through the meadows blossom of array of spring wildflowers. I could see Julie Andrews singing Do Re ME .

Rocky and Mary came to get us and take us to a steakhouse where the steaks are to die for. They have a large open fire grill in the restaurant. Very popular place be sure and make reservation.

Thursday we were on our own. We had had some difficulties with a valve on the trailer so we had to move the trailer to an RV park so we could get a mobile RV repair man. Well he didn't show till Friday morning, but he got our problem fix and we are good to go!!!!

Friday evening we were wined and dine by our dear friends. The red carpet rolled out for us. Rocky and Mary have a tradition when they have special guest they begin the evening with a fire of the cannon, { yes I said cannon } so cool, Rocky has several cannons among their many acre estate. This cannon shot a bowling ball to the clouds and as we watched it fall to the ground you could hear it whistle as it fell. What a thrill I have never seen anything like this. Afterward we were given the grand tour, a wine cellar, with so many world vintages. Mary and Rocky's home is just fabulous many antiques and world treasures. Mary is such a chef, our menu for the evening was Cornish hens with herb seasoning. Polenta and Marnia sauce and OMG a chocolate molten cake to die for.

They had another couple join us for the evening, such fun we had.

Come Sunday afternoon they wanted to teach us pinochle, I have always wanted to learn this almost forgotten game. Had such fun I am anxious to show off my primitive skills. We said our farewell to our dear friends Tue.

over an Italian dinner. I always have such a hard time to say good bye. Love to you Mary and Rocky .

Harry and I were able to attend First Christian Church and a OES meeting, we may be a few thousands miles from home but some things just don't change.
We also were able to spend some time with my nephew [Janie's boy] Frankie and his family. They have 2 adorable boys. A 10 month and 7 years , the perfect age to keep mom and dad busy. The rewards of life!!!!

They now live in Mullan ID. Jennette plans to finish her education in radiology. Frankie is busy working the farm. My nephew is so very special, I so enjoy reflecting on his childhood.


We are now in Leavenworth WA. recommended by our friends. Should be here till Friday and off to Seattle WA. where we will meet up with our grand boys. They fly out Saturday which is also Cody's birthday and he has given me his request chocolate cake and chocolate frosting and steaks for dinner, Ryan's birthday was June 15 and has asked for the same thing. Did I get lucky. Not a problem for me cuz I am super granny.

I need to say so long. I shall be busy the next several weeks. You know what that means. A week without Juju blogs will make one weak!!!!!!!!

Be safe.
