May 17th to 19th - Spokane

May 17th – Tues – Spokane
The rain did not materialize today so we didn’t get any more pictures scanned. We made a trip to Costco to pick up some new contacts and have a hot dog, picked up the mail and got Terry’s new driver’s license, got a new trial contact from Shopko and dropped off our bikes to get them tuned up.
We went to Skip & Kathy’s (Terry’s brother) for dinner. We always have a good time and a good dinner with them and today was no exception. We also got to see our nephews Shane & Nick for a short time. Terry had a little bit too much fun so I got to drive home.

May 18th – Wed – Spokane
I baked muffins this morning while Terry played games on the computer. Then he went to see his brother Gary at White’s Boots and took him to lunch. I defrosted the freezers, talked for quite a while to Julie and watched TV.
When Terry got back, we went to WalMart and then picked up our bikes which we checked out with a little ride around the parking lot when we returned. It was $152 well spent. Bill & Georgia let us know that they would be later for dinner than we expected so we had time to go to the Elk’s Lodge for a drink. Except that the first time you go in for a drink, the second drink is free so of course we had 2 drinks.
Bill & Georgia came over just after 5 for dinner. I thought we would play cards but we seemed to have a lot to talk about so never got around to cards. We sent a box of booze home with them to store for us as we have too much to take into Canada.

May 19th – Thurs – Spokane
We had to get color ink for our printer this morning and then took more booze and some vegetables to Bill & Georgia. Claude told us that they had to give up all their vegetables at the border so I would prefer to give them to Georgia. We made a quick stop at Fred Meyer on the way back.
Larry & Julie (met in Mesa, live here) came over for lunch. We helped them buy a park model earlier this year when we returned to Mesa for a week. Lunch & drinks lasted until after 5. Mary stopped by to pick up a jacket that she left when they came for dinner on Saturday.
I had kept a few beers for lunch but we didn’t drink them so Terry took them to a small group that was having a pot luck dinner at a covered shelter near our rig and chatted with them for a bit.
Because of our late lunch, we had a very light dinner and relaxed with TV.
