Fun At The Boise Capital

William, future politician

Cordie, future politician's wife? Sitting in the Governor's chair.

Future politician's children...Ian and Olivia.
Cordie, Mike, and kids met up with Mike's dad, Senator Tippets, to see the legislature in session last Monday in Boise.  The kids had a great time. Cordie tells me that one of her college roommates was the daughter of Tom Luna, who is superintentant of education. She did get to talk to him briefly. I'm actually not too happy with him and the direction he is taking education. Yet, I voted for him. We'll see how things go next year when things are going to change drastically.

Sandy

When we told Hilary we were getting a dog, she drove home from college so she can bond with the new dog.

We adopted a dog last Saturday. Her name was Sissy, but I changed it to Sandy. She is a sheltie collie, border collie mix. They think. She looks like a fox. She is a sweet dog, but she had been abused. It will take some TLC and time before she'll trust us. She sleeps in the house and dosen't make a peep. She is also house trained. She's about 14 months old, which is a guess. I didn't really care what kind of breed we got, I just thought it would be a good idea to adopt. I've never done that before. But I'm hopeful it will be a good decision.
