Idaho





And so, we moved to Idaho, because of M's work. First stop was Jerome. Now that was a smaller town than Dixon, and waaaaay farther away from the beach. We bought a cute 3 bedroom house with half an acre. We raised vegetables, and also bought a pony for S. Our second daughter was born there :)


That was my first time living in the cold snowy weather. One of my memories of Jerome, was waking up one morning and looking outside my window and seeing our pony's face looking back at me, somehow he got loose and was happily running around in the middle of a heavy snowstorm. M had already left for work, rain or shine there was always work to do. And I went outside, on my pajamas, with boots on and ran after the horse like a mad woman, until finally I caught his bridle and led him to his stable. Did I mention I was pregnant at the time? I also remember our first cat, a siamese that was evil incarnate. We didn't live in Jerome too long, just
from 1970 to 1973.


Jerome has grown some, it has more businesses, but the town itself is still the same, the downtown area has not changed, but the street where we lived looks different. It used to be in the country, with few houses around. Now there's many houses and trees. But again, I am glad I don't live there anymore.


By the way, we drove all around Twin Falls, and I could hardly remember anything about it, but M did, he was surprised I had forgotten many of the places in the town.
