Queen of Bliss, Joeann Fossland

Oh.... what a beautiful morning! The sun is just peaking over the ridge at the Miracle Hot Springs between Buhl and Hagerman, Idaho. We slept in a canvas dome last night.I woke this morning to the sound of Alligators roaring! What an adventure!

We started the day soaking in the hot springs again. Lily swung from the trapeze and did flips off it while Bub did arm exercises to loosen his healing shoulder. I booked a massage this morning and it was blissful! After an hour in the hot water and an hour having trigger points release all my tension, I felt a bit like a melted pool of water. Bliss is a good word to describe it!

But, alas...time to get back on the road to Boise for today's e-PRO Workshop at the Keller Williams office.

My friend, Past WCR National President, Gail Harnett, helped get me invited and came to the workshop. Gail had signed up several years ago and wanted to know the process to now get certified. This is a question I am asked occasionally and the answer is there is a special discounted rated that varies depending on how long ago you took the course. If this applies to you, contact epro@internetcrusade for details about how you can jump back in! Everyone who enrolls in June (or restarts) will get the new Social Media module included! Or... if you've never signed up and you are ready:
Sign up for the e-PRO in June and get $25 off as well as the Social Networking module.

The parallel universe trippers, GrandBub and Lily went off to the Boise Zoo. Lily had wanted to see some Bald Eagles on this trip and got her wish at the zoo. Perhaps, now that she knows what they look like, she can spot one in the wild. Bub says the zoo was not as nice as 2 years ago, that it looked like the funding or current administration has cut back the budget. That's too bad.

Back in the car for a not so traveled road to Hines, Oregon. We decided to take a more southern route through Oregon and up the Cascades to make our way to Portand. The country was starkly beautiful as we drove west on Route 20 from the Idaho border. Vast open spaces, punctuated from time to time with cattle ranches. There are some amazing hills striated with lines of green Bub said looked like stretch marks. We drove past very volcanic looking black rock bluffs before dropping down into Burns and then Hines.
Lily was disappointed the pool was under construction at The Comfort Inn but I was tired enough to be ready for bed after reading the next awful chapter of Lemony Sickett's Bad Beginning. Count Olaf has hung baby Sunny in a cage 30 feet in the air blackmailing Violet into marrying him to get the orphan's fortune. It is a very disagreeable book. Lily is enjoying it! Oh, my....
