I.da.ho

No, I'm not making a personal statement, it's where we are! Twin Falls to be exact!



Have you ever suddenly looked at a word and realized it actually says something about a place or an item? For example I never really thought about Rice-a-Roni - just thought it was the name. Then one day, I realized it was rice and (maca)roni - hence the name!



Same thing happened today - did you know there are waterfalls in Twin Falls? I've never actually thought about it - until I had my aha moment when I saw them...I think I spend way too much time being oblivious to very obvious things - kind of scary don't ya think?

We went to the Shoshone Falls which fascinating. Almost more fascinating was the bus of Japanese Tourists. What makes you decide from Japan that Twin Falls is your vacation destination? They were so cute and snap happy!

Complete with lots of rainbows. So very cool.

Remember that horrible tooth/gum abscess I had? Well because of many boring and yucky details, I had to have the tooth extracted this morning. They couldn't get it numb enough - so I had a small taste of what dental work must have been like in the olden days (or a torture scene from Alias!). Enough said... I must put it far out of my mind! Funny, I was trying to think about my "happy place" during the medieval torture and it was a waterfall, and now here I am - for real (except I'm pretty sure my "happy place is tropical!)



We are having a little family adventure before my husband starts his new job...yay us!! (for the vacay and the job!) We're going gold panning up in some Idahoan mountains. Which will be interesting because it has been super flat so far - nary a mountain in sight!

Wishin' y'all a fabulous 4th! Hope it's filled with lots of family, friends and fireworks!!

I'll check back in sooner if we find some previously unfound pile of gold in them thar mountains - wish me luck!

And thanks so much to April and Miss Funky Bag Freak for the tag/award - I'm thinking up my 7 things - I promise!
