We are at St Park here. The Columbia river is maybe 100 feet from us with Oregon right on the other side. It’s going to be 99° today with 108 predicted for the next two days. Wish when we made these plans and reservations 2 months ago we would have had a forecast. We may go home early. Neither my sis nor I tolerate heat well.
It was long day yesterday, traveling. My SIL blew us off but we did visit with her daughters, my nieces. Love them! This park is beautiful, green, and filled with huge shade trees. But the big tree between our two sites is dying and has no leaves. :-/. Therefore no shade here. We need fuel so we’ll cross the river into The Dalles today. Allan and Tina used to live there and managed a best Western motel. They always like to see all the changes in town. One being their motel is gone.
Autumn received pinky. I think I will post a picture over in photos love how she has displayed it in her home.
Velda, excitement is growing! Love those lights. I’ve never seen any quite like those
Jana, does your Yoobido make noise? I was wondering if it vacuums at night while you sleep or if you want to be awake and keep an eye on it. Hope those explosions weren’t anything serious. We live close to Fort Lewis and hear explosions all the time from their war games.
Tina, I bet your lights look pretty too. My grandfather died in 1940 but I am told his hobby was grafting. He would graft a Small limb from one kind of Apple onto a different tree. We had some apple trees on our farm growing up and I remember one tree that was part green apples and part red. I think my dad was testing out his father‘s hobby.
My sister says she has chili in the freezer and is thawing it for tonight. With temps for 100° I think I would prefer salad for dinner but chili is what we’re having
Keep cool!
