Cashen's, where we live

Our City

This is it, Boise Idaho. A beautiful, high desert place with lots to do, kind and honest people, good economy, and open spaces when you want them. I moved here in around '91 and never turned back.

This picture was taken in the parking lot of a local Albersons grocery store. In a lot of ways, it sums up the "core" of Boise, and of Idaho, although to be fair this was taken in the early 90's, and Boise has changed a lot in the ensuing years. I couldn't resist, after seeing this shortly after I moved here, to race to my car for a camera and snapped a pic!

Our Home

The Apartment

Our previous home, the apartment/townhouse we rented until we found a house that suited us.

The apartment's living room. Quite a change from the old homestead!

(And yes, we like to keep an extra door handy, in case of emergencies :-) It's the door to the basement that the movers removed to get access)

Not a bad view out of our back door. The apt's situated in the lower Boise foothills, and it's just a walk out the back to hiking in the hills.

Panoramic view of the "park" at our apt (180K)

This is a panoramic view of the "park" (as the kids call it) in our apartment. Warning: The picture is fairly big (180K) -- but it's nifty!

Harcourt House

Our last home, before we sold it. The photo's from just when we were moving in (Alexa wasn't born yet).

The first Highland House

This was taken by a friend Ilene, who lived"just down the way" from us. That's my previous house at the "end of the rainbow."

The kitchen...

And the dining room.

This is a view of Downtown Boise from the top of "Hulls Gulch".

If you look closely (and have a great imagination) you can see the Capitol Building near the center)
