Second day in Twin Falls

September 13 – Today we left right after breakfast to go back to Twin Falls. The only games today were card games and we don’t play cards.  They don’t do a lot of outdoor games like we’re used to. 

First stop on the agenda was Bill wanted a hair cut and had checked where some places were.  He ended up at a walk in place like Fantastic Sam’s and boy, did he get his money’s worth.  Plus she put some sticky goop on it that was still sticky at dinner time.

Then we drove out to Shoshone Falls.  It’s in the gorge at the other end from yesterday.  We didn’t have to pay, I think because we are seniors!  Sometimes it does pay to get old! 

The falls were as breathtaking as when we saw them before.  There are actually 4 different falls, one is the “main deal” and the others are the back up!  It’s

Proof we were there

tough to get them all in one photo.  We just watched for a long time.  There also 4 dams so these babies generate a lot of

power.  We were told that in the spring it looks nothing like it did today and I can’t imagine it being any more beautiful. 

Closer up view

I picked lunch today and I wanted Chick-fil-a!  Yum!  Then we went to a used bookstore that was awesome and we traded in about 10

books we were done with.  Our other stops were O’Reilly Auto
Parts, Winco, car wash and once we got on the road back we stopped at Wal-mart so Bill could pick up his script and some corn for an upcoming dinner.

We got home in time to chill a while before starting dinner.  I cooked the apples for dinner and they don’t cook like they do in cast iron!  They were still delicious and reminded me of all the times in my childhood that I helped make them with my mom.  Then you keep stirring and flipping them til they caramelize with the butter and sugar.  I forgot how long it takes but there were enough for 2 meals so it was well worth it.  The leftover pot roast was just as tasty as the day I cooked it so were we good to go!
