In 1981, I moved to North Idaho. I lived there for seven years. Eventually, both my sisters Barbara (Bo) and Monica (Mo) followed me there. I left in 1988 to go to college in Oregon. My sisters moved here and there, but both eventually returned to the Idaho panhandle. Bo lives there full time while Mo and her husband live there in the summers and spend winters in Arizona (like us).

Linda and I stopped in Post falls for a day and a half, passing through on our way to Montana. Mo and her husband were in Canada so we only got the chance to visit with Bo.

Our time with Bo was limited, but we made the best of it. We also took a bit of time to wander around Coeur d’ Alene, hiking Tubbs Hill and driving around the area.

Bo lives in a small apartment near the Spokane River, but because Mo was out of town, and has a bigger house, Bo stayed at Mo’s house. She also took care of Porter, Mo’s dog.

It’s always good to see family, but our time came to an end and on Wednesday morning, we left Idaho and drove east into Montana.
