Off to Idaho...

Sometimes visits must come to end even if it seems they've hardly begun. Neither Sister Sherry nor Deacon looked very happy while we were eating breakfast this morning. (Of course, Deacon is probably more concerned that Sherry is not sharing her yogurt, berries and granola...) We will stop back at the farm on our way back to Washington on Sunday, but then will have to come back later for a longer visit...

We drove (in the Toad) down through the Blue Mountains through Oregon and on into Idaho:

It truly was a beautiful drive!

We saw this most interesting train on the way. The cargo consisted of the huge blades for power generating windmills:

Each blade was balanced on THREE railroad cars with some overlap of each on the cars both in front and back of it!

We will be in Nampa, Idaho the next three days attending the annual meeting of Pacific Northwest Mennonite Conference at Nazarene College Conference Center.

PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brother Patrick!
