Three Beautiful Things 09/15/13: Driving to Orofino, Pictures and Stories in the Clearwater Valley, Walker/West History and Pot Roast

1.  Mom and I got ourselves all gathered and packed and in the car for our drive to Orofino.  The drive was easy and our lunch at Appleby's in Moscow was just right.

2.  At Lura and Lyle's, Mom and Uncle Bob spent several hours going through pictures, identifying family members in the pictures, and telling scores of stories about stuff that happened sixty, seventy, even eighty years ago in Orofino and Peck and other places in the Clearwater Valley.

3.  Lura put a roast and potatoes and other vegetables in the crock pot and then built a great Sunday dinner around it with rolls, gravy, salad, corn, and peas.  The stories from Bob and Mom continued and I think they almost got the whole history of the West/Walker clan figured out.
