I’m doing it again… I really don’t remember getting so behind when we were camping through Europe, but here I’ve had a problem. Well let’s get on with it !!!
On the 14th Louise and I were invited to have dinner with our good friends Larry and Pauline Anderson. We first met Larry and Pauline in 1980 when we purchased our business in Coeur d’Alene. They had a restaurant across the driveway from us called “Larry’s 5 ¢ Coffee House” (Gawd, can you imagine, coffee for 5 ¢ a cup way back then???). Louise and I hold their friendship close and anytime that we get a chance to visit with them (and especially when they have us to dinner) is something we look forward to when we’re back in Coeur d’Alene. Besides having the opportunity to be with Amy and our family for Amy’s High School Graduation, we also met up with Peg and Bruce Fitzmaurice as they are one of the camp hosts at Wolf Lodge RV Park (Peg and Bruce led us to our European journey in 2003 leading the way in 2000.).
Coeur d’Alene was also having their “Car d’Alene” weekend so we decided to stay over a couple more days and take it in. I’ve never seen more hot rods, antique cars and trucks in one place in all my life…it was incredible. Larry and Pauline invited us to a private party were you could pull your chair right up to the side of the road and watch the show come by, while all along they were serving more food and drink than you could possibly imagine. Larry was “touring” his rod through the town with all the others, and I must say he was “Looking Good”…
