Our time in Moscow, Id., has been wonderful. We are staying a little longer than originally planned, because I ordered some curriculum online, and I am waiting for it to show up at the post office. :) However, the longer stay has been just what we needed.
We drove through the small town and shopped the many thrift stores, bought books and paperdolls at Hastings, and have played at the park every day.
A couple of evenings ago, for dinner, we decided to grill fresh corn on the cob for the first time. YUM! I made a king-ranch chicken casserole and also bought some fresh cherries. It was one of the best dinners, and SO simple. :)
We all had cherry stained fingers, and corn juice all over our mouths, but, our tummies were full! HA!
Sunday afternoon, after church, we decided to drive around the 'downtown' area and we happened to run into the local Historical Society's fund raiser. It was filled with good ole' fashion fun.
The girls washed linens in an old wash tub, played dress-up, and a sweet lady taught us how to tatter. :)
There were stations for crafts, home made icecream, watermelon, and a tour of this beautiful home tour. This 1889 home is preserved by the Historical Society. The furniture inside was just gorgeous. All the floors, appliances, everything, is original. :)
The kids also participated in a fun water-balloon game, which ended in a fun water-balloon FIGHT! Balloons were flying all over the place, and kids were screaming and laughing.....it was great!
You just never know what you might come across. :)
Blessings,
Steph
