I got to meet Lyndsay's boyfriend today. Mike is a firefighter for the US Forest Service. He has been stationed out of town and just got back home late last night. Mike and Lyndsay live together and are a great young couple to spend time with. They are proud and eager to show off their adopted city of Boise.
They took me to downtown Boise today to visit the Farmer's market. What a great time. It was T-shirt weather and the place was bustling with people, sights, sounds, and aromas. We spent a couple hours there and ended up buying some grass fed beef and fresh bell peppers for dinner.
The market is just a block or so from the Idaho State Capital Building, so we toured that as well. The central part of the capital building was built between 1905 and 1912. Since that time, additions have been built.

We ate lunch downtown at The Bittercreek Alehouse in the outside seating area, people watched, and sampled some local beers. On the way back home, we stopped at the Boise Depot. The building was last used as a passenger train depot in 1997, and is now operated by the Boise Parks and Recreation Department as a historical site and public meeting space. The depot sets on a hill at the opposite end of Capital Boulevard and looks downtown toward the capital building.
We ended the evening grilling dinner on the back deck and watching Boise State football on TV. Zoey loves playing with Lyndsay and Mike. They also have a dog, a wonderful older one named Nova. Nova dismisses Zoey as too youthful and foolish. :-)
A full moon was rising when I went to bed.
More adventures Sunday.........
