Junuary is almost over and we are waiting patiently for the 4th of July and the official beginning of the summer season in Seattle! Our last taste of summer weather was about 2 weeks ago in Oklahoma. Since then it has deteriorated slowly and now we are back to high temperatures in the upper 60's. We took a ride east of the mountains on Friday (our anniversary) and found some low 70's there, but nothing like it should be near the end of June. Seems to me that the weather is a little odd everywhere this year.
Our adventure to the Oregon Garden with Ron and Jan last week was fun, and we packed a lot into a couple of days. On our way home, we stopped at Multnomah Falls along the Columbia River in Oregon. We have been by there before, but had never stopped. The falls are spectacular. We made it back home on Monday night about 10:00. We'll be going to Ron and Jan's for dinner this coming Saturday. They live just a few blocks from an Indian casino and huge fireworks stand, so Saturday night should be quite loud.
Our Moses Lake friends Mike and Joyce were over for a visit yesterday. We had some grilled salmon for lunch and plotted a couple of possible RV adventures for this summer. We also talked about the possibility of caravaning together to Arizona this fall. We've never gone south in November before, so it should be interesting and hot, as it usually is in the 90's then. Maybe we will get back out on the golf course!
So that's about it for now, and we have no big adventures planned until our Hawaii trip on the 21st of October. But, you never know when we may get itchy feet and head out on the road. That is assuming that the Motorhome gets all of the warranty work taken care of, and it gets out of the shop. It's been there since we got back from Texas....................................Ernie

We would love to send you some of our weather, we're dying here, and just yesterday we were talking about how we are envious of your cooler temps.
Looks like you guys have been really busy as usual, sounds like you might be planning some more adventures for us to share.
Have a safe fourth.....Diane
