Arrived in Spokane last night to a good rain storm and thunder and lighting. Stayed at Quest Casino in Airway Heights. My brother lives out this way so had dinner with them and spent the nite. Leaving in the morning for out home away from home stop.

We had a great weekend with out children at Steamboat Rock near Grand Coulee Dam in central Washington State. We had a good visit with out the phone ringing. They had there pontoon boat and they did some fishing. Not many fish caught but a good time for all. On sunday just before we headed out for Spokane the weather turned for the cooler side.

We moved down to Coulee City where a classmate that I graduated with lives. We had a very short visit but promises of next year. This is the weekend of Big Wally's wallye fishing tournament. This has world wide recognization. My friend Margie's husband built the business. They are in the process of learning to retire. It is tough as they have worked since they were teenagers, but they shall perservere. Good Luck it is the best thing you will do.

Lots of things to do while here so not sure how much I will write for awhile.
Keep checking and I will be back.

For our friends in the south, keep cool and stay in touch. Miss you already.
