Apr 26th to 28th - Spokane

Apr 26th – Thurs
I stayed home while Terry took the truck in to get new tires and to meet his brother Gary for lunch. I did another load of laundry but this time used the drier as it is still rainy. I gave Georgia a Picasa lesson. After Terry got back, we visited a while with B&G, I put in the last load of laundry and we went grocery shopping. We are also looking for an electric mattress pad as Terry’s side quit working again and it is cold here at night. I think it is too late in the season as no one had any.
When we got back I found that the laundry fairy lives with B&G as my clothes were all dry & folded! I had put a pork roast in the crock pot as it was definitely our turn to make dinner. We took everything to B&G’s since they have more room and, more importantly, a dishwasher.
This time we played Sequence after dinner. The guys took an early lead but the women persevered and finally won.

Apr 27th – Fri
We took the truck in for a little recall fix this morning. It took longer for the Chev dealer to wash the truck afterwards than it did to reprogram the computer which is what was involved in the recall. We stopped at a couple more stores looking for a mattress pad with no luck. We also stopped at another grocery store and got a turkey to take to Marg’s, a couple of chickens for cousin Pat and a few items we forgot yesterday. We got an external “hard drive” for our computer and I did an initial system backup which took quite a bit of time and was watched by all of us by the time it was halfway done. In other words, we goofed off and gabbed again!!
B&G’s niece Brenda and her daughter Camille came from Seattle to stay overnight and then go to an open house at a university that Camille hopes to attend. They arrived about 5 and we had a good time chatting and having another good dinner made by Georgia.

Apr 28th – Sat
We went out for breakfast with B&G to a nice little restaurant in Liberty Lake which is nearby. We packed up all our booze to leave here when we go to Canada. Then we stop by on our way south and pick it up. We didn’t do much of anything until we left to do a couple of errands before going for dinner at Mike & Mary’s. We finished our errands early so we had to make a quick trip to Quest Casino. Of course Terry started winning when it was time to leave so we were late getting to Mike & Mary’s.
M&M remodeled their kitchen, dining room & living room and we wanted to see the results. They ran into a lot of problems and delays but it is very nice. They also replaced their deck/patio which turned out great. They have a very rambunctious 10 month old lab “puppy” who decided I was an easy mark for an ear scratching. We had a nice dinner and got caught up with each other’s news.
