Did I Just See A Ghost ???

The last couple of weeks have been quite busy…Louise, Joelle, and I took a Mexican cooking class. Peg and Bruce joined us while Lynn and Frank took the lead and did all the instructing. They had a pretty good sized class (45) and the selection of food…outstanding. Now did I learn something??? Well, I did learn that I had better be ready to get in the tasting line faster…(just kidding) They taught us some great recipes that I truly hope to use before long. We also celebrated Joelle and Trevor’s birthdays. The weather held out for us long enough for Peggy and Bruce to join us for a day kayaking.

We went to the far end of Lake Coeur d’Alene and entered into Lake Chatolat. This is a lake within a lake which has a lot of open water but more importantly, lots of tall grass to paddle through.
We have now left the “Panhandle” of Idaho, heading west over the Columbia River
and onto Yakima and spent a night with Leslee, Lena, and Vinny in again. After spending the night in a grocery store parking lot, we took the Yakima River Valley road to Ellensburg. That’s where we unhooked the toad for Louise. She wanted to spend a couple of days with her mother and sister in Manson (Lake Chelan) so this was a good location to head north and then meet me at Fall City (Seattle) later. This would give her a little visit before we take off on our trip down south and then onto the east coast. Our time here at Tall Chief (our Western Horizon campground) is showing us a little Fall color.
The weather is starting to turn pretty fast so we had better get ready for it. Tomorrow we will be traveling down I-5 with our first stop in Gresham (Portland) to see Ricardo and Suzie. Ricardo has been doing an incredible job of losing weight and Suzie, she’s working hard at giving up smoking…we’re proud of both of them. Our next stop is a little further down I-5. Junction City is the location of AM Solar, were we have an appointment to have new solar system installed.
