One more time

Let's try this again. I am sorry my heart hasn't been into blogging and well I 've been in a funk. It's horrible I am so jealous of my friends that have been so happy lately when all I want to do is crawl into a hole. But a very wise person told me,"you are responsible for your own happiness." So true.

Back to Farm Chicks Weekend. Friday after a wonderful breakfast at the Old European my mom and I headed over to a tiny shoe store in the strip mall where my mom, with the most difficult feet in the world, went earlier. Apparently I pronate and my arch is starting to fall. So he fitted me with some awesome inserts and new shoes. The ugliest shoes, but they have been helping the shoulder, neck pain because you know it is all related. I didn't, but that is what he and my back doc told me. Huh, who knew? After a couple hours there, mom and I jumped into the WSU Mobile and headed over to Couer d'Alene, ID. I have wonderful memories of this town because we headed over annually during the fall at WSU for all of the fraternity and sorority cruises. It was just beautiful and this time I got to enjoy shopping. We met up with Timi and the girls and first hit Mary Janes Farm. Lovely! Then off to the antique stores and finally to the Coeur D'Alene Olive Oil Company. Where we received the best customer service from Janie and I bought some yummy Blood Orange Olive Oil. Delicious on chicken. At that point we were all a little hungry and parched. So off to the Iron Horse for a little cocktail I had back in the day called a "derailer". This little cocktail comes in a bucket with 3 long-ass straws to finish it off. Just as delicious as I remember. Afterwards we hit the Goodwill for some thrifting because nothing better than going to a thrift store in a resort town. My big find, a vintage square copper cake carrier that has a closure. Love it! Have used it often. From there we went back to the hotel to get a good nights rest for Farm Chicks. More later.

I have been tagged by the The Queen Bee and Her Boys and Pink in a Sea of Blue and promise to get those done sometime this week. Thanks ladies for thinking of me. Especially with my absence. Have a great day, I am off to Costco to get stuff for the 4th.
