Gma and Gpa from Boise

Yes, we are here!

Have been intending to write something from here but our primary attention has been given to being with Freya when she is home and awake. She has started her daily stint at the Montessori school with half days this week. Both of us have accompanied Matt to pick her up midday so have seen the premises from the outside and to observe her pleasure at seeing her Dad.
From Monday afternoon when we arrived she has been very accepting of us and seemingly at ease with interacting.

Things went well on Sunday. Our flight departed 5 minutes early arrived about 5 minutes early -- a very smooth 3 hr 55 min flight. Saw a lot of the terraian as it was a mostly sunny day. Saw one forest fire in MT.
Little trouble finding our car and we were on the 1-405 at 2 PM. Drove almost 400 miles when we stopped at le Grand, for the night. No problem drving on to Boise and C,M, and F's home by about 12:30 PM.

Matt has taken time off every day this week, except for some at home work he is able to do, so we've been well cared for. He and Mom just went out to Costco for some supplies. Casey has arranged to work for a while at home this afternoon and then we'll all be going to a big Sierra Outlet Labor Day weekend sale.

Matt has at least two "seasons" opening tomorrow, so
he has places to be over the weekend. It will be a busy schedule.

We plan to leave here Sunday morning and drive up to Glacier NP for a day then head back toward Seattle by Tuesday so that we will be on hand for our midday departure on Thursday, 9/6.

It has been very hot here, so we haven't felt a great desire to be out and about. It has been very comfortable to be here inside or out in the shade of the
backyard deck.

Glad to have the blog report from Mark and will devote sometime today to the extensive report from
Domino! She really took "pen in hand". Will check
Susan's effort out, too --even though we did get a good report from her by phone yesterday.

Grandma asked that we send our best wishes and prayers for every success for each of you who is beginning a new school year and the new work experience for Alex.

Love, Grandma and Grandpa

Thanks, again, for each of you who remembers to use LARGE, BOLD print which makes it easier for Grandma to read!
