Yesterday we took the Kingston Ferry from Edmonds (love that short ride) and drove to Bainbridge Island. Found Churchmouse Yarns and Teas and both Mom and I did some shopping. It was a nice, cool, overcast day.
Then Gary suggested we go to Poulsbo for lunch. He had an ulterior motive--wanted to eat at the same place we did last time and have more of their clam chowder. After our lunch/dinner (it was about 3 p.m.), he took the dogs for a walk while Mom and I wandered up to the Scandinavian shop. I bought a variety of things and Mom got a new lefse griddle. At almost 99 she thinks she needs a new lefse griddle! Sounds good to me! I'm usually the one that makes the lefse at her house. ; ) The town has amazing murals on the sides of the buildings--very cute Scandinavian community.
Today I made bread for Mom and cookies for my nephew, then took Mom to Costco. We had Mom's two remaining close friends over for salmon dinner, Buck and Johnnie. Gary did a masterful job of cooking the salmon and I made the rest of the dinner. On our way home from Costco, Mom spotted an estate sale and we both did a bit of shopping. I'm so glad we are in the RV so I can take home our new round oak coffee table.
As I sit here in the RV typing this, a train is passing Edmonds. One of my favorite memories is the Doppler effect as the trains go thru town. It is a melancholy yet peaceful sound that makes me think I'm at home. I must have heard that sound at bedtime growing up because now I am ready for bed.
