Our dear long-time (not old) friends, Norm and Barb met us and drove us to a great little restaurant right on the water in Puget Sound. It was a fun visit with a beautiful view.
A seagull even stopped by for a visit as we waited for our lunch.
We noticed a lot of Scotch Broom (bushes with yellow flowers) along the freeway. When we were growing up it was considered a nasty weed, full of bugs and way too prolific. Now we see it for sale at nurseries in CA and cringe. You won't see any in our yard, but it is kind of a pretty plant, for a noxious weed.
We drove past the freeway exit for our very first home. Our address was Thorne Lane North SouthWest. Weird, huh? But true!
Then the wonderful Seatlle skyline appeared on the horizon, complete with Space Needle. It is such a beautiful city. The Olympics were showing here and there among the clouds, but not in position for a good shot from the RV moving at 65 mph.
As we turned the last couple of corners going to my Mom's, the dogs figured out where we were and started crying. When we parked, they flew out of the RV and ran to see the horse and goat, so happy to be free. Then it was up to see Grandma. Their fun has begun. We were amazed that our senior citizen, Tule, was able to run so much and enjoy the space. Up and down the outside stairs--the dogs will sleep well tonight and so will we. No photos of Grandma's because she had plans and we hit the ground running--to the PO and Walgren's and for groceries and Costco. Maybe tomorrow will give us the time to take a few photos of this beautiful yard (while my Mom is stlll sleeping).
