This past week, I had the pleasure of traveling with my sister, Pattie, to celebrate our mother's 95th birthday. Mom recently moved to a nursing facility in Grangeville, Idaho (a very nice place, I might add). It was our first ever road trip together! Here are few pics of our travels:
Mom's church put on a potluck party for her. Here we are with our brothers who traveled up from California to attend the festivities - from left to right: Myself, Mom, Hugh, Pattie, and Tom. (since this time, Tom has passed away)

| The sidewalks were lined with these hearts - it was a friendly place. |
On the way home, we stopped to visit this still working monastery of the Benedictine sisters. Religion has always been of interest to me - in the past as an very active participant; more lately, as an observer and armchair learner of the history and its effects on our world (thanks to the studies of my besties).

| There were several birdhouses placed in the gardens - this one occupied. |
 |
| A scale-down castle replica drew my attention... |
 |
| ... as did this church. They were maybe 2 x 3 ft. |
