Fun, Full, Weekend

I had a lot of fun on Saturday. It began early on Saturday. Nick and I attended the Riverwalk sponsored by the Museum.

RiverWalk
Saturday • Oct 13 • 9:00-10:30 am • Taysom Rotary Park
Don’t miss out on our monthly RiverWalk entitled “Autumn Colors” led by Pocatello’s favorite biologist, Dr. Karl Holte. Co-sponsored by the Portneuf Greenway Foundation, RiverWalks are family-oriented field excursions, each focusing on a different natural history topic. Meet at Taysom Rotary Park on Bannock Highway and bring a “bigger maker,” if you have one.

I loved the renaming of a hand lens to "bigger maker"

Next we went over to the Farmers Market where Kristi's band Rhiannon was playing. (See her blog for the Idaho State Journal.) I found gorgeous purple potatoes, onions, bell pepper and garlic.

We drove by the Marshall Public Library Centennial Celebration. But hunger won out and we had lunch at the Pocatello Co-op's Kinport restaurant. (http://www.pocatellocoop.com/) The food is yummy! I highly recommend the croquets.

Later we ran errands, I got a hair cut, visited Robin, Terry and Terry's two daughters and son-in-law. Eventually I took a much needed nap.

To finish the fun filled day we met up with Cheryl, Chantal, Tom and Mira to watch Ratatouille. I gotta say one of the highlights was the sheer glee and unstoppable laughter of Mira watching the preliminary short "Lifted." I also loved the movie. Thanks Leonard for the recommendation.

Sunday Nick went off on a Geology field trip and I stayed home. I opened the blinds letting in all of the sunshine and spend a lazy day cleaning house, doing laundry and cooking. I made tons of stew with the purple potatoes, the last of the carrots from my garden, garlic, onion and other fresh herbs. I also candied some walnuts to use later on a Gorgonzola, Cranberry Salad, and boiled a few eggs for lunch this week.

Nick came home with a sprained ankle. OW OW OW OW I dug out one of my fancy canes for him to use. Apparently he did it while hiking to the field area, so he spent the day in his car waiting for everyone to come back. Poor guy, he didn't have his computer, a book to read or anything. He did get to catch up on his napping, watching the clouds and enjoying the beautiful day. I love that he is so easy going.

After later
