The Calm Before The Storm

All is quiet now with only 17 days until Josh and Brynn's wedding. I'm thinking that things may get a little hectic as the big day grows near.
Our friends from Tulsa ( Ron & Diane ) left us yesterday and are now cruising toward Alaska. We had lots of fun, and were a little busy trying to take in the highlights of the area in 4 days. We managed to visit the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the Waterfront including brunch at Ivars, We Rode the Ducks, saw the Fremont Troll, visited Snoqualmie Falls, Took the Safeco Field Tour, Saw a Mariners Game, and Ron and I squeezed in a morning visit to the Snoqualmie Casino! We also took a driving tour of the city. and walked Lincoln Park. Ron and Diane are probably happy to get away on the cruise ship to relax for a few days. They will be docking on Tuesday, and hopefully will have about an hour to tell us about the cruise before heading to the airport to return home. They had never been to the Pacific Northwest, or Alaska before.
The Motorhome is at the dealership getting the issues resolved that were discovered on it's maiden voyage to Arizona. It will probably be there for another week or two awaiting parts. Then we may be heading off on a short ( 3 week ) road trip to Texas to deliver Kristin's "stuff", as she is going to be living in Austin for at least the next year with 2 other young ladies.
So for a little while things will be quiet here. Two weeks from today Patrice & Paul, and Anthony and his girlfriend Cassie will be here for a 5 day stay for the wedding. So for now, I will be enjoying a little solitude. And if the weather would improve a little, maybe a little golf can get squeezed in!! Ernie

We had a blast in Seattle, had no idea how pretty it was. Wish we could have stayed longer but my job keeps getting in the way of my fun stuff.
We had such a good time, we feel so fortunate to have such great friends. With the wedding coming up and just getting back from Az I know how busy you guys must be and to take time for us, well I have to say it "you guys are the greatest".......Diane
