On Sunday I loaded up the gals into the 'tour bus' (my old van;) and we headed out of town ... final destination .. to tread ever so quickly into and out of the state of Montana ... just to say 'We Were There' ;) Sister Deb wants to visit all fifty states ... so with this trip, she was able to check off three.

| Scarf Sisters at the Greenbriar Inn, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho |
We started the day with a beautiful and delicious brunch at the
Greenbriar Inn. A lovely
brick home built in 1908 that serves dinner, brunch, and is a B&B. The food was so good, and the interior of the home right up my alley .. vintage!
A trip to North Idaho wouldn't be complete without a visit to the oldest building in the state. That being the
Mission Of The Sacred Heart in Cataldo. Built between 1850-1853 by Catholic Jesuit missionaries and members of the Coeur d'Alene tribe, it has a feeling of rich history blending religious traditions of the white men with that of the native.

The afternoon was spent having authentic BBQ at the
Smoke House in downtown Wallace, ID .. and a little shopping for silver jewelry (
Wallace is in the Silver Capital of the world). Sister Cheryl was a brave soul standing on the spot (in the middle of the street) dubbed 'The Center of the Universe' ... There is much more to see in this area ... but not enough hours in the day. I think the sisters need to come back for a longer stay one of these days :)

Good friends, good fellowship and good food...the finer things in life!
