We didn't end up in the park we thought we were going to - our mistake. We stayed at the Wenatchee River County Park. Between a major highway and a busy train track. Might have been an error to stay there. Oh, well. Let's hear it for earplugs!
Wenatchee is a pretty nice town and Marv loved their bike paths. He's been exercising our recumbent tricycle pretty often. Naturally, I'm not into it as much, but it is fun, even for me!
One thing we saw in Wenatchee that I've never seen before. This official street sign was such a surprise that I had to turn around to get a photo. It was right near their Arboretum, so presumably there are peacocks, although we didn't see any, worse luck.
We celebrated our anniversary recently - 43 wonderful years. I can't believe how old we are getting! We ate at a very nice Italian restaurant. When our desserts arrived, each one had a lit candle in it. Nice!
This week we're making our way to Salt Lake City. We will be working at The Depot, a staging place for all those health kits Methodist churches keep making. The Depot crew gets to check every kit to make sure everything on the list is in it. (Otherwise the government on the other end can seize the whole shipment.) If you make health kits at your church, be sure to include everything. I had no idea it was so important.
We are looking forward to being with people for a week and getting to know some new folks. We haven't done much except with one another for a while. There will be some quilters in the group, so you can imagine what I may be talking to them about.
We have had the enjoyable experience of staying not 1, not 2, but three places in a row with noisy trains all night! I don't know how we pick them. Just lucky, I guess. Maybe the KOA near Salt Lake City will be quieter.
We should be in Colorado Springs in by the 20th and hope to catch up with Mom and some friends (and doctors). Then on to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Can't wait!
