Terry
woke up early this morning and got up to watch TV and play computer games so he
wouldn’t keep me awake. I took advantage
of it to be lazy! The morning was gone
before we knew it. We went to Fred Meyer
for a few groceries and ended up shopping for clothes at half-off sales. I tried on a bunch and got one blouse; Terry
picked up a couple of pairs of shorts and, thanks to men’s reliable sizing,
didn’t even have to try them on.
Friends
Mike & Mary came at 3 to visit for a couple of hours. We had invited them for dinner but they
couldn’t make it Friday, we were busy Sat and they had to get back today by
shortly after 5 so we settled on a short gabfest.
July 1st – Mon
We
actually had to set the alarm to get up in time for 7:10 and 7:20 tee times
this morning. Terry played with Bill,
Lonnie, Vern & Dick and I played with Georgia, Cindy & Carol. We played at an executive course at Liberty
Lake so we were done and had the clubs loaded up by 9:20.
We
headed back to the rig as Julie & Larry were going to stop by to see
us. We picked up a breakfast sandwich on
the way and Terry even had a very short snooze before Julie & Larry arrived
at 11:30. Julie just bought a new travel
trailer to use in the summer and was very excited to show us the brochure. They had a small motor home which they park
at Bayview ID and then store for the winter so they don’t need something drivable. Their son-in-law Brian will move the trailer
in the spring & fall.
We
did some shopping after they left – Rosauers for more baby backs and other
groceries and Spokane Liquidation where Terry bought shirts for a very good
price. By the time we finished, it was
time to start the ribs. Terry put out
some chairs outside and I sat with him for a while but it was too dang hot –
over 100.
A
guy called from George Gee to say that the pump did not arrive and since the
lights have stayed out in the truck, Terry told him not to bother trying again
to get it.
July 2nd – Tues
We
dumped our tanks and moved to Bill & Georgia’s back yard for a few
days. When Terry was backing up to park,
Bill noticed that the right turn signal was not working on the 5th
wheel so by the time Georgia & I got out they had the light assembly off
and were testing everything. Vern had
dropped by to use Bill’s bolt cutter but even his added expertise (yes, there
can be and are 2 fuses for the signal) didn’t help find the problem. We still have the problem with the plug not
locking so they brainstormed for a solution and decided to drill a small hole
and insert a small screw that will do the job.
I helped Georgia take clothes off the line and hang up more. One load of sheets was nearly dry by the time
a second load was finished in the washer.
It is REALLY hot!
By
now it was time for lunch and I had some canned chicken already mixed &
ready to go so it didn’t take long to make sandwiches and have a “tailgate
party” in the shade in the shop. Georgia
& I went shopping for groceries – and get out of the heat – and we found
the guys sitting in the shade drinking beer & clamato juice when we got
back. We joined them for a while and
then went in to start making dinner.
After
dinner, we taught Bill & Georgia to play Three to Thirteen. Georgia caught on pretty quickly and won the
second game.
