Home Front pt. 2

If your travels you find you are in eastern Oregon, swing on in and say "hey", they love visitors, you won't get out without a large meal or at least some coffee and a tour.

Home front

I was able to spend a short time at Mom and Dad's new place, lot's of explaining to do there which I may address at a later time, it was my first trip to the "Raven Ranch". Below you will find some of the pictures I took to capture their new environment. It's not for everyone, but they love it.

Milky Way

Spent the night with mom and dad at their new place, I am glad the stars came with them. Being out in the sticks has the benefit of no ambient light. Good Night!

Bardenay - Basil Instinct

The Basil Instinct at Bardenay in Boise, simply tasty!

Paella cooking class

My mother and I went to a Basque Paella and Tapas cooking class at The Basque Market in Boise, ID last night. It was a very informative and tasty experience, and I highly recommend it. I enjoyed the laid back approach and the tasty dish, not to mention the great wines.

Guard Dog

Breakfast with Andrew

The Story Teller

Andrew's favorite: Arnold Palmers

Huge breakfast burritos (I ate one for breakfast and one for lunch)

The Portland Scramble (full of veggies)

Andrew who was one of my interns and coworkers and good friends stopped to visit me on his way home to North Dakota. We went out on the town and then went to breakfast at Thumbs Up, great food! It was a good run with Andrew and I am sure our paths will cross soon.
