Boise, Idaho: Great Friends

We spent the day relaxing by the pool and enjoying the spa. They call it a spa although it looks like a hot tub to me. Maybe the spa is when its built into the ground? In any case, beautiful sunny and cloudless day here in Boise.

This evening we got together with several friends from my days at HP. John & Lorraine, Andy, Alan & Jan, MLA & I all had a great time at Joe & Lori's, who were kind enough to open their house to us all. What a great time. They have a perfect backyard for entertaining and we took advantage of the cool evening air supplemented with a special sitting area, complete with a fire ring.

Lori prepared a delicious grape/broccoli/bacon/cheese salad along with several vegetables while Joe cooked out on the grill. We sat and enjoyed each others company for hours. Really great people. Always fun to meet the spouses of friends from work and in this case we hit it off right from the beginning. I've always said that what I miss most about HP after retirement is the interaction with the special people of HP and their spouses.

Boise is having great weather now and it is allowing us to get caught up on some of the RV maintenance activities we put off while in colder weather. And did I mention there is a pool & spa here at the campground? Perfect.

Tomorrow we will spend some time with John & Lorraine seeing the sights of Boise and having dinner.

I know I want to see the World War II Airplane Museum and we both want to see the World Center for Birds of Prey. Plus a lot more.

A little late so I'll keep this short however just want to say what a great time we are having in Boise.

See Ya!
