HERE'S HOW THE IDAHO ROSES CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS


First, an update.  After months (6) of research, and some (lots) of whining, Cammi finally got her new car!   And to complete the happiness, she got a RED car!!!  Each Rose now has a red car....so, of course, it became a photo op.  We are celebrating Tracy's Birthday month, and before lunch we all met at my home.  Previously deciding on a nose to nose (of the cars, of course!) shot, Tracy, the last to arrive (huh?)
Decided that we were parked incorrectly and had to move each vehicle.

Michelle and I "helping" Tracy position her car correctly.   Hubby George graciously consented to be our official photographer, which led to the following silliness......




As you can see, Bump was not impressed.....

BUT ON TO THE BUSINESS OF BIRTHDAYS

Tracy chose a downtown Boise location for her lunch, not only downtown, but in the Basque District.   This is a must see for anyone visiting, charming area, outside dining, and a museum.  We chose The Basque Market for lunch, and dined on tapas.

Wine braised chorizo, Serrano ham sammies , deep fried paella rolls, and a favorite....quince jam with manchego cheese on good bread.  
And wine.................

It was a lovely day with my sisters, and I say a prayer of thanks every time I get to be with them.   Love these girls!!!

LITTLE BROKEN ANGEL

On, or about January 22, our middle sister, Michelle, took a spill, while hauling a cooler.  Not only did she get a nasty bruise on her chin, it turns out she managed to break a bone in her foot!!  The above photo is the wrapping from the emergency room.  Within a few days she went to the foot surgeon, who put her in a boot, until the swelling went down, so she could have surgery to speed the healing. Now, this is the true gist of the story, Dr. Michelle, as we like to call her, would probably change the dates, the diagnosis, and the time of treatment.......but this is MY blog, so we will go with my timeline. The big reason for any consternation on our parts, is that Tracy and Michelle  have a date with Rick Steves! in Italy!  For three weeks!  And Michelle is on crutches!  Granted, they aren't leaving until the end of April, but nevertheless....... Her mobility was greatly improved with the addition of one of those kneely scooter thingeys.  (Again, I'm sure she

A THORN FOR THE ROSES!

The caption for this particular blog sounds much more dire than it really is....but, after we sisters have enjoyed the sole company of each other, our firstborn brother, Tim, and his lovely wife , Debbie, finally set their GPS to Meridian and spent some time with us!  We were all so tickled to have them for a visit.  As a matter of fact, we prepared the fatted calf (pork ribs, really) and celebrated with a communal dinner.....all the Roses and their spouses, Tim and Deb, and Devon Abrego ( only invited to keep the average age of the diners under 60!). I just did the math, the average age was 47.66666! Now, this Thorn businesss....as there can be only a Three Idaho Roses, we need some kind of tie in for our brothers.  I figured a Thorn would be better than an Aphid, right??? We couldn't fit all nine of us into the picture, and besides, everyone was getting hungry! If you think the Roses are giddy, just try adding another Vedder, and a Vedder Spouse!!  We all laughed,

     It’s been a long time since We Three Sisters of Idaho posted.  I could list a myriad of excuses, COVID, life, procrastination, etc, but really, when it comes right down to it, I’m sure we all know it was most likely the baby sister’s fault. Am I right?  Just kidding, of course.      There has been a lot of life that has taken place in the last little while, some good, some not so good, some still yet to be determined.  But I think that on the Eve of the annual Sisters Christmas Cookie/Candy Bake-a-thon that it’s a great time to begin the buzz of another round of “What Are Those Crazy Sisters Doing Now?!?”     Let us know if you are ready for the next chapter of excitement as we share with you the craziness that follows these fun loving, creative, crafty, adventuring girls (ladies?  Pbbbbtttt. women? Yes, we currently identify as such… Females of a Certain Age (FOCA). Stay tuned!!
