When I was a youngster we would travel u to Firth, Idaho to my grandma Quinn's home on a summer vacation. It wasn't an every year thing, but almost. That was really such a long time ago that it is hard to remember a lot of it, but I do have vivid bits of memory that I carry with me. They lived in two different places. The 1st one burned down and the last one has more memories maybe because we were there more times or maybe because I was just older. Idaho is potato country and a lot of the farmers grew 'spuds' as we called them. I remember one time Denny and I walked into town and near a potato processing place. On the outside of the big building was a run off pond where water that was used to wash the potatoes gathered. It was a stinky place and the water was the stinky part. I don't remember how or why but Denny and I both ended up in the water. We scurried back to grandma's not only wet but the family couldn't stand the smell of us and we were quickly dispatched to the hose to be cleaned off. Another memory was of an area on or near the property which had a grove of trees that I would go down into and play. I called it Sherwood Forest and I would play there and imagine Robin Hood who I had seen on TV. Over the years I have seen quite a number of Robin Hood movies. My reason for this trip down memory lane was that I just watched another of those Robin Hood movies. It was the latest one from 2010 and I had not seen it before. I paid the price of staying up this late (it's 11:40 p.m.) but I did enjoy it. It ends my long Sunday on a good note. We had driven up to Ogden on a couple of errands earlier today and Sherri was compelled to invite us for a lovely meal. It appears that they might not be able to access my blog to read this entry for awhile because someone spilled water in their keyboard and it may be dead and awaiting burial. Other then that it was a pretty quiet day. And now I have extended it beyond normal and will probably pay a price for that decision in the morning. We did learn that Nicholas earned a prestigious scholarship to SVU that made his parents and grandparents proud of him. Also, Cortney, Brooklyn and Spencer are better athletes then even I had supposed. We hope to hear about Linzi and Zach's weekend. And any news about the rest of the family. After that our number one goal is to get our taxes done and mailed tomorrow and then eventually cover the checks that we will be writing out. Shalom
