When I listen to some people talk about their children's spouses or significant others, I realize how fortunate we are. We not only really like our sons-in-law, but we really like their parents as well! And we truly enjoy visiting with them.
This evening, we met up with our youngest daughter's in-laws who live nearby here in Parma, Idaho. We had invited them to join us for supper at the Nampa Sizzler. Jan and Jerry are a delightful pair and we talked for three hours straight! They were actually starting to sweep the floors in the restaurant... Of course, we chatted about our mutual children and grand-children, but the conversation ranged far and wide on other topics as well.
It was a nice way to end a day that had been a bit frustrating. We had driven back to the other side of Boise to the Outlet Mall to try to replace some broken Corelle plates (they don't take well to falling on the ceramic tile floor when someone forgets to put the holder bars in the cupboard before we move...). We discovered that the Corelle store had closed last August.
While we were there, the radiator on the Toad started steaming (though the gauge never registered hot!). We discovered that the electric fan was not running. So we are going to have to stay here an extra day and see what we can find out at the nearby Jeep dealer in the morning.
