Throw another potato in the oven, we have another little Idaho Spud to feed. “Ella” was born to Lara and Mike Smith Jr. on March 18, 2004 at 3:27pm weighing in at 7lbs ½ oz. and 19” long (or short is more appropriate) named Luella Marie Smith after her great gramma on her mothers’, fathers’, side. She is a perfect little bundle of joy, looking a lot like her sister Miss Martha did except her eyes are blue like her We are ordering the paint to change the population sign once again. Everyone is well and glad to get back to our normal routine. The baby came one day after the helicopter pulled out of town, wouldn’t you know!! Get ready Clearwater Valley School System, ‘cause the Smith Sisters’ are about to arrive!

A group of ladies working on scrapbooks came into town last weekend, they stayed up until 2am working with their sizzors and scraps, things don’t get much more exciting than that, but they had a good time.

We have springtime in the Rockies this last weekend here in Lowell, any grass seed is eaten by the turkeys, but thank goodness we have a lot of wild greenery, and not much mud this year yet.

Last night some kayakers pulled in and slept in their little pick-up trucks right outside my front door, they brush their teeth without any water and they eat humas and kooskoos while sitting on their tail gates. I think that’s a true sign of free spirit, who know’s when they took a shower last?

Chris Engledow and Jerimi Syron took over the Big Horn show up in Spokane for a few days last week to represent Three Rivers Rafting, they did a good job and had more fun than the scrapbook ladies.

Don Wilson and Nelson Landry had coffee with Bob Flammang last week at the Wilderness Inn. They all had a good time and are thinking about starting a scrapbook group along with Ann Ryan, who is already a scrapbooker.

Everyones busy with their spring projects and Miss Martha is busy helping with the new baby. She’s quick to give little Ella a half eaten cookie, or a big kiss on the head. She knows how to say Ella and trys to bring anything that the baby might need, after all it was only 20 months ago that she was laying there helpless herself, but now she’s the big sister!!
