Day Thirty / Day 3 of 3rd leg

Slept in ‘til @ 9:30 this morning. Tomorrow’s weather is supposed to get cold & wet, so I finished a couple outside projects (more shrub trimming) then started inside with taking down knick-knacks and pictures. David worked on the truck, then started dispersing garage stuff. Now it’s @ 6:00 pm and we’re headed to Ray & Sharon’s for dinner and to force our photo show on them.

Had *clam spaghetti, steaks, salad. First, looked at their finished pond (looks great). David & Ray watched a *Husky rerun while we had apple cake dessert. Headed home @ 9:00. Ray is headed to Florida Monday until Oct 9, so we’ll see them again before we head to Ohio.

*clam spaghetti: a dish made by Ray from a recipe in the Seattle Times. We loved it SO much that we have been making it a few times a year ever since.

*Husky: Ray and David had both been members of the University of Washington Husky Marching Band

Day Thirty-one / Day 4 of 3rd leg

Today was a mixture of packing, plant preparation, and Star Trek Next Generation marathon-watching. I made ribs & mashed potatoes for dinner. My dad called and we got an update on the spoiling of Pav. Taking long walks, making human friends, watching the neighbor’s cats through the window, special dinners, own bed in the bedroom, 5:00am bedding shuffle, future playdate with the 3 greyhounds down the street.

Plan for tomorrow: to shop, to All-Pro for $, to Maple Valley to p/u check, Burien re: insurance, p/u film, call insurance re: Rx, p/u Rx @ Fred Meyer, and so on.
