Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Keller Williams Realty Boise
I have been on a hiatus from blogging, mostly because of a few trips. One was to Minnesota to see my sister, another was a road trip to the Bitterroot Valley in Montana. Both trips gave me a much needed respite from the news. Since my return, the news is on a full scale tilt.... Continue Reading →
