Three Beautiful Things 10-03-2025: Back to the Silver Valley, Reunion with Copper, A Visit to The Lounge

1. Our biannual trip to the Wildhorse Resort and Casino ended today. Ed and I hit the road around 8:45 and I enjoyed easy and pleasant driving conditions on the entire trip back to the Silver Valley. We took a break at the Country Mercantile and another one a 76 station just off the Cheney exit. These were good for caffeine and stretching our legs. I eased the Camry into Kingston and took Ed home and then I glided into Kellogg and enjoyed having a reunion with Debbie, Gibbs, and Copper. 

2. Copper seemed to endure my absence just fine! As he often does after I've gone a while, he ordered me with persistent meows to join him in the bedroom and enjoyed my attention. I talked a little bit to him and pet him and used my fingers to break up a few fur clumps. 

3. Debbie and I scurried up to The Lounge and had a lot of fun. We yakked with each other  and with Cas and said hello to different patrons as they strolled in. The group of Wallace people who go to a different Silver Valley bar each Friday were in the house, so I had two excellent visits with Rob Gillies. During the second visit we were joined by Eric Howell whose parents (RIP), Rodney and Rhonda, are members of the KHS Class of 72. Eric spends a lot of time researching local history and had a lot of questions for Rob about what he knew and filled us in on a lot of his knowledge and discoveries.
