Salmon, Idaho

Everyone has childhood school day memories. One of mine was loving Idaho History in the 4th Grade with Mrs. Catmull. That same year our family went on vacation to Oregon and my dad stopped at every historical sight along the way so I could read about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Sacajawea became a fasination. Probably the first "thick" book I read was Sacajawea. It's one of the only books I've ever read more than once.
Several years ago Salmon, Idaho opened the Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural and Educational Center. It took me a few years but yesterday my friend Susan and I took a drive and enjoyed visiting the center and a great visit for the day. It was well worth the drive and also helped me check off one more thing on my summer bucket list. Thanks Susan for going on my little adventure with me. True friends are those who you may not see everyday but when you are together it's just like it was yesterday and you pick it right back up. A day very well spent!

Relay for Life

At 6:00 pm Friday, June 25th we started participating in our local Relay for Life. What an experience! We want to give a heartfelt thanks to the family and friends who joined us in walking around the tract and also those who participated in our #33 Jace's Blog Auction on line. It was a fun time and I can't believe we made it all night until the closing ceremonies at 6:00 am Saturday morning. Cancer is such a ugly mean creature and I found it hard to really believe how many families there were there with their survivors and also paying tribute to loved ones who weren't there. I truly am thankful for the research and strides in the medical field that have helped us be there for Jace and the success he has had in his treatment.

Thanks family and friends!
