Hello,
We are winding up another week in Lacy Washington at the Potlatch and Salmon rally.
It has been a great time, and to be sure they fed us too well! We went to the Boeing flight museum. I tried a ride in the XJ5 flight simulator (quite stimulating!!) Did flips and nose dives. We also went through President Eisenhower’s Air force 1, the Concord, and saw lots of other air history. Today is the final full day and it will end with a salmon bake and entertainment with door prizes which have been very nice so far. I won a black and white hand made afghan that looks good in the coach. They cook the salmon outside on a large grill. I must add that their kitchen is very well equipped; it leaves ours at TR in the dust. They have large warming ovens and lots of roasters.
We avoided a disaster Thursday night. I was on the computer and Norm was sleeping on the couch when I heard water running, at first I ignored it as I thought he got up to go to the bathroom, but when it kept up I turned around and saw he was still sacked out on the couch. Turned out when I went back we had a flood with water from the back of the potty spraying a good stream of water all directions. If we hadn’t been at home to shut the water off it could have really been BAD. Norm was able to take the potty apart and replace the valve and seal. It is a plastic valve and cost us $61.00! What a rip, but I guess when you play you pay, and I’m just glad Norm could do the labor.
Norm is doing massages today and tomorrow here at the park, it is cool and cloudy today. I’m watching Olympics, and catching up on wash and blog. Just got back from a poker run, (not even a pair).
For the airstreamers reading this, we highly recommend this rally if you want to see the area. At first I wasn’t impressed with the park but the longer we stayed the better it got. We found a great grove to walk the dogs and the people couldn’t have been nicer. The last 3 days entertainment has been first class and the food was great, and it is a bargan!!
We have another announcement to make, we are now the owners of a 1956 22 foot Airstream trailer, we don’t even know much about, not even the type or for sure the size! A little crazy ehh! Our kids are picking it up for us in PA and we won’t see it till spring.
Sounds like a lot of work to me but Norm will take it to Fla and it will be his next project. Till next time , be well.
