We've driven through Idaho Falls a few times, and stayed overnight there once on our way back from visiting some friends in California--it seems like a really nice town

[dacjohns]

I see some of the old folks are still gone and some are still here.

I do most of my internet on an iPad. This forum isn't real iPad friendly so I'm not sure how much time I'll be on. I'll try not to be gone so long a time in between visits.

 

[dacjohns]

Is Hardly still around?

 

[Beekissed]

Haven't seen Hardly for a long time. Wow, you've been through some changes! Life do roll on, don't it?

I moved also and now live with my mother at the old home place. Still have a few animals, kids are all grown and out of the nest and expecting my first grandchild next month. I'll never catch up with you now, you're way ahead of me.

Sure is good to see you, Dac.

 

[Denim Deb]

I miss Hardly. Always enjoyed reading from him. Gave me a good laugh every time.

 

[Wannabefree]

[dacjohns]
