Fun times in August...
Boating with Friends August 14, Tim and I lucked out this year and finally got to go on someone's boat down the Spokane River. We met up after work Saturday and left from the Post Falls boat dock. We got to see a Canadian Snow Goose, a bald eagle and an osprey. The houses were lovely, saw a couple huge houses. We docked in Coeur D'Alene and ate at THE BEACON, a pub. The meal was good, but the place was a little loud for such an early hour of the evening. We got back into the boat an hour later and headed back just as the sun was setting...which was gorgeous! Thank you Margy and Randy! What a fun time!
Picking Peaches at Greenbluff August 15 The next day we decided to head to Greenbluff to see if there were any peaches to pick. We discussed how many we would get...and of course ended up buying more than what we discussed. We also got some corn, red potatoes, and extra peaches we didn't pick. We headed back home and started making pesto...our basil plant was going nuts and needed to be harvested. We managed to harvest half...making two batches of pesto. I decided to freeze this in an ice cube tray and then wrap in wax paper in a ziploc so I would be able to take out small bits at a time. We also made peach sorbet for the first time...it was really good. We grilled salmon with pesto which was also very delicious. What a great weekend.
Girls weekend in Seattle August 27-30 - Yes, I traveled AGAIN! This time it was a trip to Seattle to help my friend Amy celebrate her upcoming marriage. Lynn hosted Liz, Amy and I for the weekend. It was full of fun conversations, good food, a concert at Chateau Ste Michelle (Crowded House), and laughter! Everyone needs a girls weekend!
