Tuesday Twitterdeedum

It was a full weekend for us, filled with all sorts of fun, including this visit to the newly-opened Wild Horse Mercantile near Eastport.

Owners Ray and Beth Holmes are opening the facility in various stages.

Saturday the convenience/gift/gas section opened.

Within a month, the lounge next door will be up and running.

Ray and Beth owned Mugsy's Tavern and Grill in Bonner's Ferry. Beth says she likes to start up businesses.

It was fun seeing Jeri Meneely Colin (Beth's niece) and Bruce Colin up there for the festivities.

Jeri was a Ponderette back in the late 1970s and has remained a friend ever since.

Also, I enjoyed a special treat, seeing Janice Buhr (????) for the first time since the late '60s.

Her sister Joanne was one of my classmates at Sandpoint High. We enjoyed doing a little catching up.

The place looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, especially with the nice people running it.

Folks in the photo include my hubby Bill, Jeri, Ray and Beth's son, Janice, Ray, Beth, Willie and Debbie.

Willie used to play a busy game of football in Meneely's living room while Jeri's dad Jim watched NFL games and the women worked on drill team outfits.

So, it was fun for Jeri to meet that little guy all grown up.

I'll include a few photos below of weekend activities or scenes.

Overall, Mother Nature treated us really well on this holiday weekend.  For that we are very thankful.

Life is good.  Happy Tuesday. 

Photos include a closeup of work on my manure-pile garden, the top of Copper Falls near the Canadian Border, Willie having Debbie pose in front of the falls for a phone photo, pasture aplenty for the horses (Lily), Justine and Lily, and one my brother calls "family tree" cuz it's his five grandchildren---from bottom up Grace, Justine, Jacob (the triplets), Rory and Tanner.
