Lunch Date(s)

We decided to try Famous Dave's since we were craving BBQ. What a great new restaurant for Idaho Falls and a big boost for the West side of town. The food was so yummy we went for lunch on Friday and again Saturday. The meats have a great flavor & the corn bread muffin, corn-on-the cob, and famous fries for the sides were really good. Definitely cured the BBQ craving. What a fun atmosphere!

Recycle Tips

Earth Day was April 22, 2010:

• If you are using a cooler to keep picnic foods chilled, fill a couple of empty washed milk jugs with water and freeze. It lasts a lot longer than ice cubes and it is free.
• Safely cut the tops off of empty washed milk jugs and place over garden plants when the weather dips in temperature.

Tracks on the Trail

We decided to attend our first quilt shop hop, so we purchased our passports and started traveling to each shop to get them stamped, collect our charms, patterns, and buy some new fabric. You still have time to join in this fun event. It will be exciting to see how we attach our charms into a memorable piece of jewelry, so stay tuned. Maybe we will have to check into Utah for the next shop hop!
