We were not able to make it to the 2017 total solar eclipse, so Barry immediately looked at the path of totality for 2024. Texas made the most sense for us. Being in the Dallas area for the 2024 eclipse became our priority from which the rest of our 2024 travels would be planned. (The… Continue reading WOW! Total Solar Eclipse on Path of Totality

Wine and Pickleball in Yakima
Saturday, August 19 we headed east to the Yakima Elks Golf Course and Lodge with RV parking. It is a gorgeous setting, but unfortunately, Yakima woke up this morning to smoky skies from the raging fires in Canada and a few in WA. Glad we have 50amp service to run the air conditioners and our… Continue reading Wine and Pickleball in Yakima
Valerie and Grant’s Wedding
When Valerie and Grant set their wedding date for Aug 11, Barry and I worked our summer plans to allow us to remain in the area to attend. It was nice to be a part of this family wedding celebration. Arrival Valerie and Grant asked that NO photo or videos be taken during the actual… Continue reading Valerie and Grant’s Wedding
Van Gogh Immersive Experience
Abby, Barry, and I drove from Abby’s apartment in Shoreline to Northgate to take the Light Rail south to the Stadium station. From there we walked to the Van Gogh Immersive Experience. Have I mentioned how much we love using the Light Rail system!?! It is SO much better than the stress of driving into… Continue reading Van Gogh Immersive Experience
Chihuly + with Abby and Richard
Today Barry, Abby, Richard and I all went to the Chihuly Garden and Glass Exhibit in Seattle. It was a first for all of us. Barry rode the light rail up to Seattle from the Angle Lake Station, Abby and I rode it from Northgate, and Richard walked from his Seattle apartment to meet us… Continue reading Chihuly + with Abby and Richard
Arlie’s 2023 Annual BBQ
July 22 was the big day. The annual BBQ means a lot to Arlie, so Barry and I told her we’d help her pull it off this year, BUT it would be simplified. The main change would be that everyone would be asked to bring a dish to share, and their preferred beverage(s) to drink.… Continue reading Arlie’s 2023 Annual BBQ
Yard Work Project at Mom’s – Start to Finish!
Since we weren’t able to get a reservation at Lake Tahoe for the 4th of July, we decided to head to Tacoma, WA earlier than planned. We surprised Barry’s mom when we called on July 3rd and said we were at the Lakewood Elks! Arlie was “tickled pink”. We were going to help Arlie out… Continue reading Yard Work Project at Mom’s – Start to Finish!
A Short Visit with Lynne and Eric
From the time Lynne Ogren and I met in Oak Harbor many years ago, we have been best of friends. Even though our lives moved us both out of Washington, Barry and I have caught up with Lynne and Eric in Alaska, Montana, and two years ago back in Washington. Coming up to Washington again… Continue reading A Short Visit with Lynne and Eric
Jo & Don Visit Us in Yuma!
Jo and Don are always on the go. They travel frequently to Mexico and Hawaii, with occasional trips back to family in Tennessee. So it’s not easy to find a time for our schedules to mesh for a visit at our home at Carefree Village Resort (CVR). April 9 – 11 worked! Woohoo. After they… Continue reading Jo & Don Visit Us in Yuma!
Spring Break at Nana & Papa’s
We asked to have Isaac and Mona for part of their spring break. As it turned out they had two weeks off PRIOR to Erika having her spring break. Erika’s school district is not a year-round school district as is the one in Chula Vista, so their dates don’t lineup together. They looked at Justin’s… Continue reading Spring Break at Nana & Papa’s
