Idaho Falls


I spent last weekend in Idaho Falls with my friend Phaedra. I know that I live right on the border of Idaho but I really don't get up there all that much. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've been in Idaho. When she invited me up I thought, why not.

Phaedra and I have danced together for several years and I missed her when she moved up there for work at the beginning of the summer. Why does everyone have to move? Ok, ok, no more talk of that.

It was good to get away for a day or two. I knew this would be a tough week and the offer came at just the right time. All the time driving gave me some time to think and I needed it. While there we shopped (I bought one beautiful pair of boots. I'm almost excited for it to get cold), ate out and talked.

I'm not sure if any of you will agree with me but with chain stores moving into towns all across America, they are slowly starting to look like each other. It's sad to see the individuality of mom and pop stores disappear. Now, to me, Idaho Falls seemed like any other mid sized western city. I did get down to see the falls - a completely unique feature. They are quite beautiful with the Temple overlooking them.

What do you think about the world changing? Am I right?
