Our dear new/old friends from the trail in Arizona were waiting for us and had supper ready. Karen and Fred Olds are parked just down the road from us in the beautiful Swan Valley. He is the retired blacksmith and she is the retired high school teacher, remember??? Fred is just now starting his rounds of judging at the spring/summer horse shows in Idaho. I hope we can go see one of the shows he judges. All of you who are reading this blog, I would ask that you say a prayer for Karen as she is fighting a heart problem. Actually, it is the ventricals into her heart. She now has 3 stents and is a "Young" 65 yrs. old. Fred and Karen are such a great couple and I know God intends for them to have many more wonderful times ahead. It was a cold, rainy day coming over the Tetons and Karen had delicious homemade soup, fruit slaw and blackberry ice cream ready. Fred had a nice glass of vino waiting. We talked and talked playing catch up. Karen particularly wanted to hear about Savannah as she wants to visit there so much. The blessings of our life on the trail. A serendipity kind of evening.
Texas Molly II is parked here until July 5th and "weather permitting" we are going to get in some great trout fishing with Fred on the Snake river. Right now the Snake is running full, fast and very cloudy, so the fishing is not great at this time, but will get better soon.
Larry was given for his birthday, tickets to the Boise State Broncos vs California-Davis game in the fall in the Broncos' blue field stadium. Always sold out for their games. Remember their miracle win against Oklahoma in the '07 Fiesta Bowl? Well, "Texas Molly" is in need of alot of TLC today so I better get going. Please remember specific "heart" prayers for Karen. blessings to all
PS As I finish this blog, it is SUNNY and 72 degrees outside. Maybe we have found summer!???
Here are some photos we took on the way thru the Wind River Shoshone Indian Reservation in Wyoming and into Idaho. Sacagawea, the Shoshone who lead the Lewis and Clark expedition is buried on the reservation along with her father the great Chief Washakie. Chief Washakie is the only Indian ever given a United States full military funeral. He was quite a guy and she was quite a gal. There are more statues of Sacagawea around the world than any other woman.
