We are basking in mid-seventies weather!!!! We arrived this afternoon and are parked and set up in the same site as last year. Cooper likes it back here. And on my way to the laundry room, I encountered a couple who were here last year, so of course it is like old home week.
I-5 had been closed last week due to flooding, but I closely monitored a Seattle TV station website which was giving real-time updates on weather and roads. I-5 opened to trucks at noon on Friday and regular traffic at two.....we went through Chehalis about three!! We stopped in Albany for the night to visit Dick and Harriet Light who live in the Mennonite Village with everything from single family homes to condos and apartments. It offers care from assisted living up to Alzheimer care, which is what Dick is going to be needing in the not too distant future.
Bless his heart. He had no idea who we were, and he has gotten quite thin, but when he smiled, we saw the old Dick. He was always such a swashbuckling daring-do kind of guy, that it is very heart-wrenching to see him fail. But we had a good visit with Harriet, and she treated us to dinner at a Hungarian restaurant that is to die for.
Saturday night was the Wal mart parking lot in Red Bluff, Sunday an RV park in Bakersfield, and on to the desert outside Quartzite on Monday. There was a full moon and the stars were awesome while we were there. It seemed there were fewer rigs in town and parked on the desert, but the 'main event' doesn't start until Saturday, and we passed a lot of motor homes heading that way, so I guess it is going to pick up.
All that house cleaning and laundry I did today tired me out, so I am signing off.
Ciao
