We drove to Meridian, Idaho to have lunch with my mother (Linda's) at Tony Romas. She and Andy just bought a house in Melba (actually, my sister bought it for them), so they will be living close to my brother. It's not clear at this point whether or not they will sell their place in Glendale, Arizona (the story differs, depending with whom you talk).

Although we'd been invited over to my brother's and sister-in-law's place in Kuna, Idaho for dinner, we really didn't feel that we should leave Maxx alone for the number of hours a trip there and back would have entailed, so it was nice to have a chance to visit with Mom.
