Time Away

 I know,
I returned only to disappear ...
but I had good reason.

Last Friday,
we pulled one of those silly road trips ...
you know, the one where you drive 8 hours
to spend 36 hours
to drive another 8 hours.

That leads me to a "Thankful Thursday" post.
I am thankful for a change of scenery, time away, and time with family.

We spent last weekend in Boise, ID.
We went to see family
including meeting a new nephew-in-law and 2 great-nephews.

We were primarily visiting a hubby's sister who is more like a second mom.
And yes, we were spoiled over the weekend.
She is also gluten and dairy-free, so no real traps to avoid in the food department,
they introduced us to a great flatbread restaurant
and treated us with time on the water.
We hit the water early to avoid a busy waterway (and less than half-dressed people).
It was chilly and the water choppy when we started,
but it calmed down and warmed up before too long.
(The highs in Boise while we were there were 105-110)

All in all - a good trip.

But it did take a bit to catch up from the weekend
plus we are in the process of updating some technology around the house
which also takes so extra time
thus my extended absence.
