News from Idaho

Mixed news from friends and god-family in Idaho. Joy at Idaho's victory in the bowl game yesterday. But sadness that Esther, my surrogate mom since my own mom's death, the mother of my late best friend, is in the hospital with pneumonia, and the doctor isn't optimistic. She has lived forever and her quality of life lately hasn't been good, except for her sharp mind, so it's not a surprise really. But I sometimes wondered if she might outlive us all. Probably have news one way or the other in a few days.
