COEUR d' ALENE . . and the O'HARAS

We started our first morning with Kathy's soft, sweet wonderful cinnamon rolls . . . YUMMY.   Then one of her daughter's, Erin, modeled her western shirt and skirt for us.  Gorgeous gal, don't you think??

Day two:  We went "junking" and found some treasures.  Diane and Wende missed being in this photo, but they were with us.

We then went to the home of Mary Ann and Jerry, neighbors of the O'Hara's to watch a whip demonstration by Joe Strain.  Joe has made whips for movies such as Zorro and the Indiana Jones movies.  He also did some pistol shooting with black powder blanks.

Joe Strain, Mary Ann and Jerry joined us in this photo

Our last evening there was spent at the O'Hara home where we enjoyed elk burgers, green salad, fruit salad, a lot of chatting, laughing and enjoying each other.

In the photo above, Kathy O'Hara is seated in the chair on the left with her daughter, Mia, next to her on the grass.  Also joining us was Melanie Danbrook, from British Columbia (niece of CJ and cousin of Robin) and is third from the left in back, just behind Robin's left shoulder, and Michelle Bowman, farmgirl from CD'A and she is pictured on the far right, back row, behind Diane.

Ed O'Hara joined his wife and daughter in this photo.  They have a beautiful place in the country outside of  Hayden which is near CD'A and we were able to camp in a beautiful GREEN meadow.  They have a spectacular garden with vegetables, flowers; they have chickens and a Lionhead bunny named "Valentine".  Wonderful, wonderful hosts!!!!  WOW!!!

Thank you so much Kathy, Ed, Mia and Erin!!!
