June 6-9th – Spokane WA

Mon- After coffee & games, I caught up the blog while Terry visited with some neighbors. Julie stopped in for a visit in the afternoon after a doctor appointment. Then we went to Harlan & Barb's in Mead for dinner. Of course we had to start with Moscow Mules! Harlan proved again that he can cook very well.

Tues- It was time for a trip to Costco today as it is one of the few places that we can find Chinese Pork. Of course there was more than that in the cart by the time we were done. We stopped at a grocery store for a few items and headed home. I cut up jicama and pork to take to Bayview this afternoon where were having dinner with Larry & Julie, Terry & Tena and Barb & Harlan. Barb & Harlan came here and rode out with us. The weather was lovely and we were happy to be able to sit in the shade. Good friends, good food as usual. Terry had a little more fun than some of us and I got to drive home!

Wed- We had terrible news this morning. Tena called to tell us that Larry (Reglin) collapsed in the bathroom and could not be revived. It was even more of a shock since we had dinner with him last night and he was fine. We weren't in shape for anything productive so we went to the casino which didn't lift our spirits as it gobbled our money. We stopped to get our favorite “Sour Cream Lemon” pie and had a small piece for a snack before heading to Skip & Kathy's for dinner. They had a new house built and this was the first time we saw it. We took a wrong turn thanks to the GPS so, thanks to cell phones, Kathy was able to turn us around and get us to their place. The house is lovely and their son Nick joined us for a yummy dinner and a game of “3 to 13” which Kathy won.

Thurs- Terry took the motorcycle to a CanAm dealer in Coeur d'Alene and got the mirror fixed for the huge sum of $8.08! What a nice surprise. Then we took the truck to do some grocery shopping as we needed a bit more than would fit easily in the bike. I made lunch and got a roast in the crockpot for dinner and then we kicked back. Bill & Georgia arrived for dinner about 4 and we sat out on the deck in the gorgeous sunshine for a pre-dinner cocktail. We have been friends with B&G for many years and always have a great time with them. They just got back today from a camping trip and are leaving tomorrow to go to Seattle so they left reasonably early and we went to the Elks lodge for a drink.
