June 19 & 20, Boise Pride and Saturday Market

Another beautiful weekend in

Idaho's Treasure Valley...

The weekend is filled with festivities and activities...Beginning with Boise Pride on Saturday morning. We left the house a few minutes too late to take in the rally on the capital steps (just another rally, too bad). On the good side...While we were waiting for the parade to begin, we had time to take in a bit of Boise's Saturday Market...Not unlike Portland's, although it seemed bigger to me. Actually, it has been a few years since I have been to Portland's Saturday Market, so what do I know?

Once the parade began, we took our places at the curb to watch. Now I know that this pride parade is nowhere near as big as Portland's, but Portland's was not always big either and everyone appeared to be having fun!

After the parade ended, we returned to a few more minutes of Saturday Market before taking Todd to training for this summer's youth grief camp. While Todd trained, Victor and I...shopped! Just a quick trip to the Boise Mall (love that place!) and then we moved on to Ann Morrison Park to meet friends an take in a bit of the Pride Festival.

A call from Todd to let us know that his training was complete took us away from the festival to pick up Todd and grab a bite to eat at Sonic, and then we returned to the festival for a short time longer.

Home for a bit of R&R (at least for me) before meeting Jean at a downtown dance club...What did you say? My ears aren't hearing to well this morning. What a crowd they had at the club too. Off to Shari's for a quick bite to eat and then into bed...1:00 A.M.

Today is Father's Day, so what family is nearby will be gathering at Grandpa Todd's to celebrate; it sounds like there may be a few friends popping in as well.

So Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers out there...I've got work to do!
