First Entries in the "Guest Book"

The Taters have been Pennsylvania residents for a little over 7 weeks now, and have already enjoyed short visits from two Boise friends.  On this Sunday evening we find ourselves grateful to their friendship and the aid they've given us in easing our transition to this new place.  We sincerely hope many more will follow in their footsteps.

• Mark Hofflund spared a couple of hours during his recent tour of the mid-Atlantic states to have dinner with us in historic Gettysburg PA. Our understanding is that Mark ended his visit by meeting with Idaho's Senator Crapo. We surely enjoyed Mark's company that evening and feel honored to be included on such an auspicious agenda.
• Joanne Smith, a friend who first entertained us at her home with bocci and dinner (at which we were pleased to be guests of our great friends Karen Meyer and CK Haun), joined us for lunch in Philadelphia today. Joanne lived for a number of years in that city and treated us to a walking and driving tour of some of her haunts and the neighborhoods that comprise the city. We'd visited downtown Philly several times, most recently on our first escapade to Reading Terminal Market, but we came away from our tour with Joanne more educated and energized about the city's restaurant, arts and shopping possibilities than before.

Unfortunately we've no photos to share from either Mark's or Joanne's visit, but we'll try to remedy that when our next batch of begins to arrive tomorrow.   They'll be the first to stay at K-bar-T B&B - we hope y'all will follow!
