We moved here two months ago from the Oregon coast. I miss my wet misty breezes and cool air.
I have the directional sense of a drunken gnat.. on a good day, some days I Forgot where I am and why I am here.
I have a few favorite places however....
I love the Blues Bouquet, downtown on main street, usually any day of the week you can find great music. The Boise down town night scene is a circus of people and sound.
If your feeling very brave you can walk over to the balcony in the sandpiper restaurant. There you can guess who is the transvestite and order micro brewery beer, cheerfully served to you by the floor whore... who is a very cranky waiter.
and if that isn't enough, there is a hot dog vender on every corner for the after drinks munchies..
My other favorite place is municipal park, I like watching the trout or just kicking the leaves up in the park.
SEE? It's not just about gun waving at the local mall.

Whitehall Lane Winery

I suddenly remembered this wine. I was twenty eight, staying at the Hofsas Haus with a friend. Visiting places of wonder to me. I was a small town girl after all, and it was all magic to me.

Pinot Noir, A wine for sensualists. Makes the great reds of Burgundy and good wines from California and Oregon. More delicate than Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, with strawberry and tea-leaf aromas and flavors, excellent with grilled salmon, roast chicken and grilled lamb.

We tried it with Cream Havarti Cheese and French bread. that was to be our diet for the next ten days.

In ways one cannot imagine. Thoughts assail, time moves on. Think on the things that make you smile.
