Brunch and Boondoggle

Sept 16th:

Marilyn's friends Cathy and Gary are here from Montana.  We all went out to brunch and then boondoggled at the College of Idaho, them reminiscing on where they met, us enjoying the beautiful day.

Brunch was at The Orchard House in Caldwell.  The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food was wonderful and we enjoyed the outside seating - under the tall, old, shady trees.

Karcher turns to Sunny Slope and then just after the Sinclair station is The Orchard House

The rustic inside...  we didn't sit here

We then went over to the College of Idaho for a short boondoggle.
