Sunday, April 20, 2025 I woke up at 4:51 again, thinking about packing. I am still mostly just thinking. I might be stuck. Keith woke up not too much later so he could go play trumpet at a church. He sent the potd before the first service. Things look different in the balcony, don’t they?
Saturday, April 19, 2025 Keith went to a rehearsal this morning for services tomorrow, then went to Alexander’s to unplug the kitchen drain. After a trip to Menard’s and his best attempts, a plumber needs to come. Bummer. I was putting things in boxes. Keith came home and put things in boxes. The boxes are
Friday, April 18, 2025 I have heard of this acapella group, but we have never heard them. Keith saw that they were having an “End of an Era” tour and got tickets. Better late than never. They have been a group for thirty years (although none of them look old enough for that to be
Thursday, April 17, 2025 Mike and Kristine enjoyed running and walking on their hills (mountain) while Keith ate cake for breakfast (twice) and I just leisured. I grabbed pictures of their house for the potd as we drove away. It is beautiful on the outside as well. Mike suggested going to a Chinese garden that

Monday, April 14, 2025 I read an article some time ago extolling the virtues of Olympic National Park. I tucked away in my brain somewhere that we should go there sometime when we visited Mike and Kristine. Sometime was today! The boys were very busy talking in the front seat, while Kristine and I were

Sunday, April 13, 2025 I woke up in the night and stretched and stretched and was so very appreciative of having a bed instead of a coach seat. I was lying there, enjoying my bunk, enjoying my train, when the train stopped. When it started up again, it was so sudden I slid down the
Saturday, April 12, 2025 Everything we’d read or heard about an Amtrak roomette was that it is small. Our car’s steward, Cherie, looked our two backpacks doubtfully and said we could store them in the luggage area, if needed. We are finding it bigger than expected and a great way to travel. I slept up

Friday, April 11, 2025 Okay, I knew they were, but seeing a bunch of them filmed by the National Geographic people was really cool. We went to a concert/video show by NG a few years ago and it was spectacular. Music and video blew us away. When we saw this opportunity, we had to go.
