Planning to leave for Louisiana soon; most of our time during
October was spent preparing the house, yard & RV for departure around
20OCT. Of course this is conjunction
with numerous other tasks that always need attention – medical, dental, mowing,
recycling/garbage, Habitat for Humanity, etc, etc. And it seems like the longer the RV sits
unused here in the Pacific NW, the longer it takes to reload it & check all
the systems?
Saturday AM, 08OCT, we headed to Leavenworth, WA, for an overdue
visit with cousin Sheila & beau Alan.
The drive was thru off & on rain thru the mountains on US 2; but there
were great fall colors in the trees. Even
though we arrived in Leavenworth early the “Bavarian” themed town (we have
discussed in older BLOG entries) was already full w/traffic &
tourists. Why? Because as part of the town’s Bavarian theme,
it celebrates octoberfest every weekend of October. It was a great visit, even w/heavier rain on the
drive home.
The following week was almost continuous news/warnings about
forecasted heavy winds for the weekend.
Although the winds might gust over 50mph; you would have thought a
hurricane was going to hit Seattle. On Saturday,
15OCT, the storm arrived barely topping 40mph.
But all the TV news stations had two to three hours of prime time news
casts about stormy “bad” weather (even in place of the national news!).
Tuesday, 18OCT, Dan finally got his ski equipment on his third
visit to the sports store. As part of
his purchase he was entitled to his bindings being adjusted & custom
fitting of the boots. Because the store
was in the process of moving things did not go smoothly. Thursday 20OCT, on the road back to the kids
& grandkidsJ!
