[Spudgrandma]

[SweetBella]

hehehehehe... it doesn't matter, no matter what i say to anyone that has never been there... they don't believe me. They're loss!

 

[HisJavajunkie]

you ase so right about what they say about Idaho. but that is for the better.

 

[brendansmommy]

Idaho really is a great place to live!!

 

[HisJavajunkie]

How many Idahoans have been here for life? (or close to it?) I have been here for 25 of the years.
Any other long term Idahoans?

 

[Spudgrandma]

I have lived in Idaho all together around 42 or 43 years. We were in the military when I was a kid and my husband and I were in for 6 years. This last time I have been here for 29 years. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

 

[brendansmommy]

I will be 28 next month and I've lived here all but 4 years of my life. I really like it here.

Boise sure has been getting more people lately. We need to not tell everyone how great it is here. The streets are getting congested with too many cars, and it seems that crime has also increased lately.

Did anyone see the Boise River, from wherever you are? It might overflow by tomorrow or the next day.

The Boise River sure is running....I can't believe how full it is now. I mean that is good for the farmers but not for us city people. Least, that is my take on it. How does it look where you are -everyone?

As far as the Boise River goes, who all watched the Boise River Festival? who was involved? Who misses it?

I watched the Boise River Festival a few times and two years held on to those floating displays. One was Popeye, I think. The other I can't remember exactly what it was. They were both fun to display and walk with. I can't even begin to try to come up with their size. I will just say HUGE!

Hi HisJavajunkie, A sensitive farmer's wife and farmer's mother here. You may think it is not good for you, but farmers put food on your table and, as for the water, we need the rain and the snow to recharge the aquifer so we have drinking water. We cannot necessarily judge what is going on by what is happening right in our backyard, as there are so many things that affect us that we cannot see.

Okay, stepping off of my soapbox now.

I just hear these kind of remarks so often and I never say anything and just felt led to do so this morning.

BTW, the desert is green and beautiful from all the rain, the creeks and the Snake are running high but that is a good thing. Maybe we are finally out of this drought.

God Bless and have a wonderful day.

PS- I hope this doesn't sound angry (because it sure is not meant that way), I just wanted to set the record somewhat straight.

Hey Spud Lady,

Did you see the news reports? Canada, Mexico and Japan have closed their doors to the taters from here?

Java Guy,

Yes, I miss the Boise River Festivals. I was only here for 2 of them before they stopped. They ran out of money.

The river's to flood even more tomorrow. Went to the Greenbelt today, in Boise for a walk, and in Garden City at a few locations just to look. Yeah, it's pretty full, all right.

It would sure be nice to be out of the drought!

Yeah Ann, I did see that about our Spuds being stopped over there. That is a bummer isn't it? Hopefully, it will be opened up soon.

They say that rain is coming again this week and there is a flood watch here in my area actually. Greenbelt is definitely still full to the brim! And the area near us is serious contemplating it. So please pray for that.

Enjoy the sun as it stays around.
