Busy Week at Pomponio Homestead

It’s been a borderline crazy, definitely hectic, week at The Pomponio Homestead of North Central Idaho.  I had two free days before my babysitting resumed, order of 49 chicks arrived, and helping a friend with carpooling her kiddo to our one room schoolhouse started.  When my Dad’s best friend visited Arizona in his RV for a short round trip, my dad took advantage of Larry & Dee’s short visit to send two large stained glass hanging lights home to Boise with them.  My Grandfather made them from my grandma’s drawings and I would love to have them in our forever home. My husband was scheduled for a meeting in Boise Monday so it was kizmet.  After the meeting was rescheduled and his picking up the lamps seemed a possibility instead of reality, I decided to take advantage of my two days and rest my elbow tendonitis (Painted in the inside of the house in a week and a half.)

So Monday we left early, picked up my mother-in-law travel buddy and hit the road.  Then we circled back around and picked up the early arrived chicks at the PO.  Crap!  The brooders were set up in a hurry and my husband left with hasty directions.  Again we were off!  Boise just in time, and then to McCall  with the use of my business partner’s condo for the night. Beautiful sunny driving, foxes in the snowy meadows, good coffee and great company.  The trip scratched that little end of winter wanderlust itch. Five hours of sleep and 3 downed chicks at home and we made it back.  To a husband now gone on business and a severely clogged drain.  Have I ever mentioned how much I distrust garbage disposals?  Gateway to lazy plumbing stuffing I say.
