June 1-7 - Spokane
I got brave (& desperate) and got a haircut at Great Clips. I asked the stylist first if she was comfortable with short hair and showed her pictures that I took right after my last haircut with Holly (VVV). I got a decent haircut!! 
Ron & Terri and Dennis & Donna (Canadians who stay at VVV) arrived on the 2nd to attend Julie's memorial. They stayed with Harlan & Barb and we were invited to have dinner with all of them. Harlan cooked a big pot roast with all the trimmings and Barb used my rhubarb cake recipe for a yummy dessert using rhubarb from her garden. The weather was wonderful and we played ladder golf after dinner.
Saturday was Julie's memorial at an Eagle's lodge in north Spokane. Julie & Larry had a park model in VVV. Larry passed away a year ago and Julie in December. The memorial was very nicely done and the attendance showed the large number of people who loved Julie. On Sunday, we invited Harlan & Barb, Ron & Terri, Dennis & Donna and Terry & Tena for drinks & dinner at our place. Brian & Natalie (Julie's daughter & hubby) came for a drink and accepted our invitation for dinner. Another couple from VVV – Alan & Dixie – stopped to visit but not for dinner. Yes, our rig was full!! 
Wed we went to visit Terry & Tena at Bayview. They moved to a different campground just a short ways from where they have stayed in the past and Terry M tried to help Terry set up satellite TV. Turns out there was a broken piece in an HDMI cable. We went to a cafe at the marina for an early lunch. Terry & Tena wanted to take us out in their boat but the water was pretty choppy which makes it really hard for Terry to get the boat back in the dock.
We have made a few visits to casinos and haven't spent much money. Winning would be better but not losing is always OK. Something to do when Terry says “I'm bored!”.
