Living on the Road

with Jim and Gayle

September, 2019

We spent the first of September in Richland, visiting friends Scott and Joan.  We ate a lot, including having a hot fudge taste-off.  Smucker's was the winner (left to right is the placement).  The "natural" ones were the losers.

The RV Park we stay in while in Richland had a Labor Day party -- all you could eat hot dogs, chili, chips, ice cream, and pop.  Afterwards, there was a concert by a duo from Seattle (I didn't get their name).  They were excellent.

Moving out to Desert Aire, we started fishing on September 11.  The salmon season was predicted to be really bad with possibly no season.  Although they have shortened the season by a week and reduced the daily limit to one fish per person, we are having a fun season.  The fish this year are bigger than they have been in previous years.
First fish of the season.

We got permission to pick apples in a couple of the local orchards once they had been picked.  It is amazing the apples left on the trees (to say nothing about the ones discarded on the ground).

My college roommate, Carol, and her husband Duane, drove over from Seattle to visit us one afternoon while we were in Desert Aire.

My niece, Courtney (my sister Lynne's daughter), got married this month.  Lynne asked me to paint a rock to be used in the ceremony as a Celtic Wishing Stone.  Pretty special.
