On the Road Again

It's been almost three weeks since we returned from our Europe trip. (What trip? Did we go on a trip? ) They've been busy days, and now we're heading east for Minnesota/Wisconsin. I'm presiding at the wedding of my goddaughter Annelisa Steeber in St. Paul next Saturday. We'll be staying with Hinderlies down the river in Stockholm, Wisconsin, and driving up and down the Mississippi to do all the wedding stuff. Should be lots of fun.

Tonight we are in Couer d'Alene, Idaho. A favorite restaurant (The Wine Cellar) is not open on Sunday, so we tried a place called Scratch. It was very good! We had a lovely meal. The only downside was that they can't spell. The menu was full of misspellings! I might be being too picky here, but it kind of shows a lack of attention to detail. The food was terrific, and there was no detail deficit there. But they could spell the items correctly - just adds a nice touch, don't you think?

Tomorrow we drive through flood-ridden western Montana. If you've driven this route, you know I-90 crosses the Clark Fork something like 14 times. From the news it sounds like that river has run over its banks almost everywhere. Parts of West Missoula have been evacuated. Should be an interesting drive.
