I had the opportunity to view beautiful Puget Sound from my friends window using his 25/40x100…read morebinocular! My eyes were opened! I was amazed at what I saw! He was good enough to loan it to me to use in my home. The next time I saw him I asked him if the binocular was for sale and he apologized, 'No.', but said that the next time he and his wife went to their home in Ketchum, Idaho, he would see if he could find one for sale there. The next thing I knew I had a phone call from Laurrine McGowan from Armstrong Root Opticians. She explained that she had a 25/40x100 binocular on order and as soon as it was received she could forward it to me! I was ecstatic! It arrived about a week and a half later at my home in Everett, WA. It was professionally packed and in perfect condition. Ms. McGowan called me and sent email to stay in touch every step of the way. She conducted herself in a professional manner, was friendly and courteous and very helpful. The binocular is state of the art. It included set up directions and I also got help from my neighbor friend. Once you use an instrument like this, you just are not the same. I can see so much more and so clearly. I see eagles regularly and have been watching the migrating birds. It is a wonder to behold! Thank you to Laurrine McGowan at Armstrong Root Opticians for outstanding service and an outstanding product!

This is actually a great store in terms of inventory. Unfortunately, the owner is so rude. Does not…read moresay hello or acknowledge anyone in the store. I went in a few times during my last trip to SV. I was looking for a dress for an event. She did not say hello once and did not offer to help with sizing, basically be prepared to be completely ignored. If you are okay with that- go for it. I don't want to spend my money in a place like this.

Ketchum is an adorable town and I always enjoy visiting the boutiques when in town. This last trip…read moreI found myself loving the inventory here at Sway. They had a bunch of my favorite brands: Paige, Rails and Amanda Uprichard to name a few. I also loved their accessories! There was a lovely blonde saleswoman who was fun to chat with on the first time I visited the store. The next time I went back they were crowded so no one helped me, but I was perfectly content browsing. There were a bunch of things I would have loved to try on, but unfortunately I had twisted my knees skiing and the thought of trying clothes on with hurt knees just seemed like too much effort. Hopefully when I return this summer I"ll be in better shape and can do some real shopping here!

Wow - what an amazing place! I've been to a lot of senior centers lately and this one is well above a 5-star rating. It's a large, clean facility. There is a "bar" with coffee, juice, tea, and ice cream. Salad bar, giant portions of assorted dessert cakes and pies. And good food. Apparently, their chef left so they have been putting out these lunches with people pitching in to help. And doing a spectacular job. Today's lunch was spaghetti and meatballs, corn, garlic toast, salad bar, Italian wedding soup (with meatballs) with sourdough bread and butter. The place was packed with seniors, but also locals who were not seniors who came in for lunch. They have a full suite of activities like fitness classes, bingo, and seasonal activities like a festival of trees. Check out their website - it's up-to-date and pretty impressive: https://seniorconnectionidaho.org/.

There comes a time in your own life when you have to deal with hospice for a loved one. I have been…read morethrough it with my Dad and my oldest brother. Now it was time to see my Mom got the best possible care in the final stages of her life. Through the hospital we were hooked up with Keystone Hospice after efforts with palliative care were not enough anymore for Mom's emphysema. They were at the hospital quickly and talking to us about our options. Mom was in pretty rough shape, but she wanted to be home to die and once we relayed that to Keystone, they were on it. It took 24 hours to stabilize her enough for the ambulance ride from Boise to Nampa, but they got her home. Keystone supplied a bed, bedside table, wheelchair, potty-chair, and everything we needed to keep Mom clean and comfortable. A team of four people came to the house before Mom arrived and trained me on medications she would need and when to administer them. A case worker, social worker and religious support were all there to welcome Mom home along with a nurse. The days passed and Keystone never lost touch. At one point Mom complained about the air bed being more uncomfortable than the bathtub. I called and asked for another option, and they were there in a less than two hours with a foam mattress that made Mom happy. Mom saw her 89th birthday, which was a goal of hers. I had three more beautiful days with her before she passed one morning. A nurse was at my door within an hour and a few minutes and took care of Mom getting her ready for the funeral home. Losing a loved one is horrible no matter how you slice it, and I cannot thank Keystone enough for their magnificent work before, during and after hospice. These amazing people are your go-to in the Treasure Valley.

Absolutely Amazing teams! Our Dad was treated with Love and Care! Thank You so very much!read more
