From there I headed to Costco for paper products for Mom and steaks for us. Costco price for filet mignon was $10.99 per pound, at QFC, the price was $19.99 per pound. From there I went to Mom's and had lunch then went for a ride to see the places where I grew up and where Mom spent her childhood. The house Mom grew up in on Beacon Hill is still there and is in very fine condition - it is over 140 years old! In the evening, Suz and I had Happy Hour at Applebee's and then dinner at the coach.
Thursday was forecast to be a rainy day - so what's new in Seattle? Before the rain, I went on the roof to clean the top of the coach - not a fun chore when the coach is wet! That being done, I checked the tire pressure and tidied up a few chores - then the rain began, and lasted all day. However, we did have the chance to visit the Country Village, which is not far from the coach, that is full of small shops selling crafts and artsy stuff.
We also had lunch at the Country Cafe, which is a bit pricey but provides HUGE quantities of delicious food.
Later in the day, we headed for Outback for happy hour, then it was back to the coach to eat the rest of the lunch that we couldn't eat at the Country Cafe!
Friday arrived with broken clouds and cool temperatures (highs in the low 60s today) but otherwise a nice day.
Note that we have had to turn the furnace on the last three nights with temperatures in the high 40s and low 50s overnight. In order to get satellite TV I had to go on the roof and dry off the King Dome - what a pain. I am seriously considering getting a Wineguard Traveler dish to replace the King Dome.Later, I found a patch of blackberries and picked another full bowl. Blackberries on ice cream in the evening - priceless! Around noon, we will head to Mom's and take her out for lunch and take care of some other family matters.
Returning to the coach, we aired up all the tires (coach, car and bike) and put the bike on the lift in preparation for our departure on Sunday morning. Then we went of Applebee's for our final Happy hour. Home again, we barbecued a couple of filets and watched the golf. Tomorrow, we will pick up Mom at 1:30 and go to Washington Cemetery to celebrate the memorial for my aunt, who passed away earlier this year, but would have been 100 on this date. It will be a chance to see all my cousins and other relatives and celebrate the life of a wonderful person. Then Sunday morning it will be off to Crater Lake in Oregon, about 420 miles away! Until our next post, Cheers!
John, Suz and Dixie the Wonderdog
