Temps down as low as -62F, winds, well, I don't know how high they were, but high!

Anyway, I'm back in sunny, beautiful, blue-sky-dappled-with-white-clouds, Idaho.

The first box arrived last week; there is another awaiting pickup or redelivery. Pat doesn't sell her quilts; they are held in a Sacred Place Of Trust to await Their Call, except for Project Linus and Quilts of Valor. I sold some of the family plate to finance this trip and now we are eating off of paper towels. It was, however, well worth it.

One place we did visit was Dangle, County Concealedcarry, the ancestral home (if such a term can be so applied) of the notorious McBrides of Blind River. While nearly all of the place is a ruin, as you can see some of Shame's family still lives there.
