Saturday Drive

This past weekend my husband and I both had the
day off, so we decided to go for a little drive
to try out a restaurant that we have been hearing about.

If you are ever in the Boise area you should take a little
drive to Hidden Springs, Idaho.  It is such a cute
little, out of the way town.

Here are a couple pictures of the buildings.  This first picture
is of the restaurant we ate at :)  It is called 
Dry Creek Mercantile!


I love taking pictures of scenery and fun little places.

Aren't these pictures so pretty?  It was such a 
beautiful day this past Saturday. Perfect weather
for an outing...


I love the colors of the trees changing for fall
and the grass is so green here.


Some of the buildings of the town...



This is an overall picture of the restaurant...



This is a picture of the front of the restaurant.  They
also sell a few items since the nearest stores are
about 30 minutes away.  Nathan found the 
stash of Laffy Taffy :)


And another room of the place :)  Notice in the
background the garage doors that are now all windows?



This Pepsi case is the display above the front door...


They had some fun antiques they were using to
decorate the place...






Check out the awesome water glasses they use...


And, of course, you can not go out to eat without
showing pictures of the fabulous food that you are eating.

We both decided to get the special of the day, a 
Beef brisket Sandwich.  I had Chicken Tortilla soup 
with mine...



And Nathan had onion rings with his...


We finished it off with a scoop of ice cream that was 
also delicious :)  Hope you enjoyed our little
Saturday drive. Check out the Dry Creek 
Mercantile if you are ever in the area.

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do.  I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that.  There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time.  This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now.  Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?"  Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen?   Now that is something amazing to me.  400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
