We started with a visit in Iona (just outside Idaho Falls) with my friend Scott and his wife Miranda at their house that they are renovating. What a job they are doing to an old farmhouse that sits on about 1 acre of ground. I kick myself for not taking any photos but we were so engrossed in the tour they gave us of their property that it never entered my mind to take any. Scott will be leaving for another stint at Microsoft in Redmond, WA today. He is about a year and a half away from retirement when he will not have to leave home again to work in other areas. Miranda does a superb job of keeping things together while he is gone. They are a wonderful couple and great friends.
We left Scott's house shortly after noon to meet our other friends and former coworkers - Georgann and Sherrie at the Kneaders Bakery and Café in Ammon which is about 5 miles from where we visited Scott and Miranda:
Georgann and Sherrie arrived shorty after us and we had a nice lunch and conversation that lasted until almost 2:30:
It was so nice visiting with them and, of course, we will keep in touch after we leave.
Our next stop on this final trip to the area was at Sam's Club where we picked up some items that we couldn't get in the Jackson stores. Our final trip to Idaho Falls was punctuated with a stop at our favorite ice cream shop in Swan Valley on the way back to Jackson.
It was a day we will remember for a long time.
Today we begin final preparations for our departure on Monday. I have to get the oil changed in the truck and we have to make sure all the tires are ready to go on both the truck and the RV. A final stop at our post office box is on the schedule as is some consolidation of office stuff that is scattered throughout the RV. The final days begin...
