Birthday Celebration

It was kind of a low key celebration for Josie's Birthday yesterday. As a result of having to work in the afternoon, we will save the nice dinner for today. It was a nice surprise for her at work when we arrived at 3 PM and there was a cake waiting for her and a card signed by the whole staff. My picture of her and the cake didn't turn out so well so you will have to imagine how surprised she was. Another of the staff and good friend, Donna, gave her something she has wanted for awhile - a dog!

It's the best kind - doesn't shed, doesn't eat a lot, doesn't poop and doesn't need a babysitter when we go somewhere. What a nice thought. We have appropriately named the dog Jackson.

The only other activity was a trip to the grocery store in the AM and Josie also took a walk into town while I did some computer stuff. The weather has been a factor in our activity planning, but we hope to see that change today. At least the sun is shining this morning and the sky is clear.

We have talked about taking a short drive into Victor, ID to buy some lottery tickets, so that is part of our activity schedule for today. The restaurant where we plan to have dinner - Eleanor's -is the one across the street from the lodge that we recommend to many guests, but have never tried ourselves. It's always better when you can recommend a place where you have had experience in order to add some credibility to your description. With only one more day left in July, we have past the half-way point in our stay in Jackson this season...
