I forgot to finish this, Yes it cooled off and we had a good sleep. We met the group at Marysville and then headed home. We are back here and settling in to chores. We hit the road again in September. Till then.

Sunday, and Monday

It was so very warm yesterday that I was glad we would be travelling today. The air conditioned truck was a real blessing after yesterday. Ken checked on Tom’s rig and together we got everything done and buttoned down . Then we went around and said good bye to some friends. We pulled out at 9:35 which wasn’t too bad . We drove until eleven and then we stopped for a stretch and a trip to the rest rooms. Then away we went again. This time we travelled until almost two. Then we stopped at a rest area and I found a nice picnic table in the shade and with a nice breeze. By now it was 31 degrees outside. Then we hit the road again. Between Lacy and Tacoma we ran into stop and go traffic. It was terrible in the heat and the traffic, but fortunately it lasted only about 45 minutes and we were in the clear again. We arrived here in Marysville around 5 or 5:30. We decided to stay at the Casino at Tulalip. Harry and Susan are going to meet us at the Walmart just down the road at around 11:00am. The problem here is going to be the fact that there are no hook ups and there will be no air conditioning. The people next to us said it cooled down really well last night so we are keeping our fingers crossed. After we got parked and then we walked over to the Casino for the buffet supper. It was so very good. There was no humanly way a person could have a taste of it all even if you had just one spoonful of each. It was 19.95 per person and included everything. Seniors get a 15% discount, so including tip and tax we got away with 40 dollars for a very fine meal. Next we did a walking tour of the casino. It is really lovely. The art work and décor especially light fixtures and furniture are very special. They have 2 great gift shops with wonderful native art for sale. We returned to the trailer and much to our relief it is beginning to cool off. Perhaps we will get some sleep tonight afterall.

TOO HOT!!!!!

It was over 100 degrees today. It was so hot that it seemed difficult to breathe.But it has cool off this evening and I am sure we will be able to sleep. We plan to leave here and head North first thing in the morning.It is beautiful here,and we enjoyed seeing old friends. It was relaxing and we are glad that we came. Dick and Carol did an excellent job of planning this and they made certain that we all have a wonderful time. Many will return next year but we will be in Nova Scotia, God Willing!!

I'm Back!!

The internet has been out but now I'm back. It went out early yesterday . Anyway, we went golfing again this morning and I lowered my score by 10 points, walked a half mile less and did not loose any balls so I improved greatly. I felt much better as well. I was really tense about going on Wednesday but I was more relaxed today. I have to stop making excuses and reasons to say no when Ken asks me to golf. I really do enjoy it when I go. But 3 games in 2 years just doesn't cut it. It is really hot here today but luckily tere is a breeze. The group is having a pot luck today and I planned to bring a salad. I am so glad because I would not want to be cooking in here today. The AC does work and I could turn it on if need be. Our friend Tom went to emergency and he did fracture a couple of ribs when he fell. I guess his son is coming tomorrow and he is going to take Tom back to his place in Washington. He will leave his rig here and then come back for it when he is feeling better and is no longer on powerful pain medication.. Ken will help him hook up and move his rig sometime tomorrow. We have been to the pool twice and both times we had it to ourselves. We were going to go again this afternoon but it is quite full of people so we had a nap instead. Last evening we had an amazing full moon and I took a few pictures, they are good but they do not do it justice. That is all from here for now.

Happy Birthday to Ken

Wednesday August first was Ken's seventieth birthday. The club had planned a spaghetti dinner for the evening so it was perfect, I was able to arrange for a birthday cake and a card. Everyone signerd the card, sang Happy Birthday and shared the cake. Ken loves chocolate so it was a chocolate cake with chocolate moose filling and chocolate icing. It was absolutely delicious. Carol had made home made ice cream and it went perfectly with the cake. After supper we went for a walk around the park and watched some science shows on TV. A great day. The climate here seems perfect. It is cool at night and actually in the morning I wear a sweater. Then it warms up and about when it begins to be too hot a wonderful breeze comes up. Then in the evening it cools off again. Just Perfect.
