What a joyful place this is, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The village is situated on a 30 mile long scenic lake and is somewhat like Lake Placid, only much larger. The 4th of July week is the busiest week of the year and we have had a ball. We have circled the lake by car and seaplane, toured a silver mine, ridden a gondola to a mountain top and viewed fireworks from a tour boat. There must have been a thousand boats waching the festivities out in the lake. And this is just for starters.

I've had another hair cut since this picture was taken.

This is the very $wish and impressive Coeur d' Alene Resort on the lake shore right downtown



The reort has this famous floating green and hole on its golf course. They move it every day..as if that would help.
