Special time with Abby! We went to Oak Harbor the first weekend of August. We met Becky (Ogren) Miller and Adelia at City Beach Park. Oh, my! How that place has changed!! I love it! It is so much more inviting and useable for people of all ages. Although, there aren’t any pickleball court put… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Abby & Richard & Oak Harbor friends

Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Anacortes
Saturday morning, August 17, Barry and I headed up to Anacortes to spend a couple nights with Renee and Tom. What a wonderful, relaxing time! Their house is stunning and is located right where you can easily walk to town, and to the water in a couple different directions. Barry and I had the entire… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Anacortes
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – EM time
Another happy hour dinner at Azul Restaurant in Mill Creek, but tonight I spent time with triathlon friends from our Experience Momentum (EM) Multi-Sport Team including our beloved Coach Karen! Love these girls! We clicked from the moment we met and it just kept building as we trained and competed together. Tears and cheers build… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – EM time
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Middle school colleagues
Elona Loewen was gracious enough to allow me to stay with her for 5 nights. Elona and I used to go for walks together fairly regularly when we lived a few blocks from each other. We both have missed our long talking walks! It was great staying up late talking and trying to watch a… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Middle school colleagues
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Fab Four
I’m so glad these three lovely ladies made time for us to get together for dinner! If it weren’t for these three, I probably would never have completed a single half marathon, let alone about 25 half marathons, 7 marathons, numerous 5 & 10 K’s, a couple 12K’s and a couple 15K’s! We all joined… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Fab Four
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Time with Grandma Nancy
The day Barry was going to take me to Abby’s apartment, we planned a day with Barry’s stepmom- Nancy Patrick. She is always a delight to visit.
6-10-19 Silver Strand State Beach for Barry’s birthday week.
Six months ago I was able to get online and book a full week at the Silver Strand State Beach in the premium front row for us to celebrate Barry’s birthday at the beach! These run about $15 more than the other rows, but makes it worth it having a Class A motorhome so we… Continue reading 6-10-19 Silver Strand State Beach for Barry’s birthday week.
4-10-19 Reconnecting in Tucson
April 10, Barry and I went to Tucson for a quick visit to reconnect with a couple different people. When we sold our Everett house to live and travel full time in our motorhome, our neighbors, Lance and Karolin Windon shared that they had just bought a lot in Oro Valley, AZ. They were having… Continue reading 4-10-19 Reconnecting in Tucson
Lake Havasu City – Jan 2019
We came to Lake Havasu for about a week, not only to check it out, but to connect with a buddy of Barry’s from Boeing – Don Ellington, before heading to the big RV gathering in Quartzsite, AZ. The Lake Havasu Elks Lodge had RV parking and we were able to reserve a spot… Continue reading Lake Havasu City – Jan 2019
Borrego Springs, CA
Barry and I took a drive from Palm Desert to Borrego Springs. We could see the Salton Sea and “Slab City” area, but neither of us had any desire to actually go, and “experience” either of them. YouTube videos were more than enough for me to say, “No, thank you.” For us the draw to… Continue reading Borrego Springs, CA
