Here it is the 2nd full day of summer, and it looks like we went back in time to April. Mostly cloudy, showers, and maybe 70 degrees. But I will take that over temperatures in the 90's with humidity to match, which is what a lot of folks are having now.
Today is our 24th wedding anniversary! Seems like only yesterday. How can this be?
Since I am still working nights, we have no big plans for the day. We thought that we would go up to the Snoqualmie Casino for their Happy Hour for a drink and a couple of appetizers.
We went to Keith and Sheila's for Fathers Day. Had a nice dinner, visited, played a little ping pong with Grandson Chandler, and had a good day. Skylar greeted us at the door in his power chair, and was talking up a storm. While there we stepped into the motorhome for a few minutes just to check things over. We kinda got the urge to just "drive off". We may still try to squeeze a week or so away into the month of August. It always amazes me that the motorhome smells new, even tho it is now 8 years old. It must be the combination of the wood and the leather. I like it! On Monday we went out to dinner with Josh and Brynn for Fathers Day as they worked on Sunday.
We have Patrice, Paul, and Anthony ariving from Chicago on Sunday. They will be here for 6 days, so we will be busy doing the tourist/tour guide thing. We are looking forward to it. The Mariners are out of town all next week, so the guys will be attending a Raniers game in Tacoma. As usual we have a list of things to do that is longer than the number of days to do them in. Not having to work for the week is especially apealing to me. Then after that I only have 3 weeks to go, then I will be retired again!! Speaking of retired, Joyce is into her 2nd week and doing quite well.
She has enough to keep busy with around the house, and she now has the time to work on her upcoming trip to Europe.
We are trying to extend our Hawaii trip in October for a few more days. We have never stayed on Oahu before, so it would be nice to have at least 10 days to explore. We haven't ruled out the possibility of a Cruise in early October and/or in January. In fact we want to do both, but not sure how that would work out. If the weather was good, we could take the Motorhome to Florida for a late January cruise, then head for Arizona for some "Summer" in February and March.
I'm sure that I have failed to include something in this rambling, and since Joyce has a lot of free time now, she just may add a P.S. For those of you in the Seattle area, summer will be back! For the rest of you, I hope your A.C. is working!
Till the next time, Ernie

Happy Anniversary, next year is 25 wow, where does time go. it was so nice having you out last weekend, I hope we will get to see you some more before everyone leaves on trips... plus you got to see the alpacas they are too cute!!!
I'm a little late but happy anniversary!!!!! Where does the time go?
Sounds like your dance cards are getting pretty full. Oahu has a lot of interesting things to see lots of history there(Pearl Harbor is a must see for sure). I can hardly wait for Joyce's "European Vacation" blog. I hope you guys can squeeze in some cruising. Your Arizona trip will be here before you know it. The older I get the faster time marches on.......Diane
