Thursday This, That; TBT

 

Another glorious morning.   

Ahhh!

I could get spoiled with this lovely weather.

And, I'm accomplishing a lot of outside projects because of it.  

I'm about to ask Bill to charge up the lawnmower. 

It would not be to mow the lawn; instead, my first-of-the-year rounds with the mower involve cleaning/chopping up debris that would take too long to rake. 

If we have more of this cold, crisp and dry weather, I may just set a personal record for early outings on the mower.   

Yesterday after lawn work, I met my sister Laurie over at Roxane's.  She saddled up CB, lunged him and rode him.  

Our friend Brad was also enjoying his horse Firefly in the arena. 

In between horse workouts, we enjoyed some visiting. 

As we left, Helen and Deb headed toward the arena with their horses. 

So, it was a good afternoon for enjoying some friendly faces. 

Someone at the high school is very good with AI. 

This illustration of Willie showed up on Facebook yesterday. 

It's good timing to have Coach Love and his team playing a game at Les Rogers Court on Valentine's Day. 

Tip-off is at 3 p.m. 

As noted it's also Senior Night for seven seniors as the Bulldogs host the Moscow Bears. 

💓🏀💓🏀

Sandpoint is also scheduled to host Lakeland on Friday (tomorrow) night with tip-off at 7 p.m.  

Both matchups are league games, so let's go cheer on the Bulldogs in both games.

Tonight, the Sandpoint girls host the Moscow Bears in a district playoff match-up.

Tip-off is at 6 p.m.  

If the Bulldogs win tonight, they'll travel to Grangeville Saturday to play a Southern Idaho team in a chance to earn a berth to State. 

Lots of Bulldog action for the rest of the week.  Best of luck to both teams. 

GO, BULLDOGS!!

Annie Love of Sandpoint, Idaho

Several years ago, I ran into my former student Ali (right) at Bloom Lake northeast of Sandpoint,  She and her friend were enjoying some fishing, as was Bill .

Some family members enjoying a short hike at Boulder City. Not much of the mining ghost town east of Bonners Ferry is left these days, but there is some signage explaining its history.

Former student Hilbur Blair at one of his class reunions. 

We clean up good, at least for a few minutes. 

 

By the time we left this wedding, Willie's (the ring bearer's) white pants had green knees, and Annie's (the flower girl) skirt had separated from the dress top. 

But they sure looked nice for a while.

I miss that place.

Andrea and her husband Kennden established one of the great meeting and dining restaurants in Sandpoint:  Marchwood Brewing Co. 

Hard to believe, but we've had dogs other than Border Collies. Julie and Bogey were our English Setters who inspired a story in one of my books called "Gone Dog Blues."

They loved to sneak off and go to town and especially liked Serva Burger.

These two are Julie and Bogey who inspired a story for one of my books called "Gone Dog Blues."  

They loved to sneak away and go to town.  One of their favorite stops was ServaBurger.
