Has it been that long????

7 YEARS where did the time go? Well it was stolen by a place called work & Boise State. Jake planned a nice getaway for us this weekend to McCall. I have to eat food about every four hours or else I get really cranky. So we stopped in Weiser at the local A&W and watched the colorful people come in & out of the place. I loved the A&W! 1. The "from the tap" Root Beer in a frosty mug...and that's about it. However, this location had an actual telephone that you placed your order through...really old school.

My not so happy face, I don't like to be seen eating.

We stayed in a bed & breakfast about an hour outside of McCall. It was very interesting...to say the least. It was out in the middle of no-mans land & when we arrived no one was home, but the front door was wide open with the TV blaring. About twenty minutes later a Mercedes came wheeling up the drive way with two dogs & a lady who by the way looked like the ranger off of Open Season. A skinny lady who looked like she lived off of tofu wearing a big straw hat.

The place was all decked out in the usual western attire...I had never seen so many animals skins in all my life. At least there was no animal heads on the walls.

Our room was really nice..lots of wood..it was like sleeping in a varnished forest. There was even some homemade chocolate left on our bed. As the evening progressed we thought our hostess would retire for the night....nope. She managed to talk to my husband and I until 1 in the morning & drink quite a few glasses of wine. By the early morning anything we said was wonderful & funny to her. She did make up for it at breakfast, the omelets she made were amazing. I have never had anything like it.

To say the least we were BORED to death in McCall. We try to make the best out of every situation....so we just made fun of people and the tourist attractions. I guess we are not up to par with the upper class crowd. I saw a lot of fake tans and wrinkled old women who would be described as "desperate" housewives. No one said hello and everyone was at the local art show for he afternoon. The art show consisted of singing hippies and lots of beaded jewelry. I got in trouble because I tried to bring my root beer into a store but oh no that's not allowed... I'm sorry lady but your cheesy shirts that say McCall are really ugly they could use a few root beer smudges & some more fake crystals & sequins glued to them!

We did spend some time at the lake, which was very beautiful. Then we were out of there.

Some might say we are the happiest couple in the world. Come to my house on a weekday after we have paid bills, worked all day & driven through traffic..oh not so happy now. We are the craziest couple. Total polar opposites not to mention my bi-polar moods every once in awhile. Which I think every wife experiences...one misplaced dirty sock can send you wheeling into a total outrage. While one kiss on the cheek can bring you back down to a peaceful haven. We "compliment" each other like Ketchup & mustard, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Toast & Jam. Some days the toast gets burnt, the jam is too sweet or you fall on the floor jelly side down. Through the past seven years we have been through a lot. We have cried, lost loved ones, experienced disappointments, yelled, slammed doors, thrown things, said hurtful things but in the end laughed until we cried. Humor whether appropriate or not in certain situations has pulled us from the depths of hell & back.

I could not have done it without my best friend, & his name is Jake.
