Fall City / Sammamish

Day 87, Saturday, 9/12: Another beautiful morning. A few weeks ago I was quite surprised to hear from a friend I had lost touch with almost 35 years ago! She and her husband live in Sammamish and we plan to get together with them today. Looking forward to it….



Barbara and Tom picked us up here at the RV park this morning and took us to see Snoqualmie Falls. It is quite spectacular but evidently even more so in the spring when there is much more water flowing. Lots of people out and about here on a nice Saturday.

It was so wonderful to connect with Barbara again after all these years! We went to their very nice home in Sammamish and enjoyed catching up on 35 years worth of events in our lives! Tom grilled some chicken and we had a good afternoon meal with them. They have so many beautiful flowers in their yard, 2 cats and lots of birds feeding among the trees and shrubs. It was a pleasant way to spend the day. Barbara has a sewing room to die for and has made about 100 quilts. She has them in every room of the house and they are gorgeous. Might have to come and spend a week here so she can teach me and share her knowledge! We do plan to keep in touch now that we have found each other again.

Glad to have hook-ups so we can run the air conditioner in the camper. It is in the low 80’s which isn’t that hot but warmer than we are used to this summer. Plan to head to the Cabela’s store as soon as it opens tomorrow morning and then on the Beaverton….

Glad you had a good trip but watch out for that okanagan wine. Hard to get rid of your guests after they get into it!

Bob and Betsy, What a wonderful adventure you have had. And you have taken us right along with you. We felt as if we were in the back seat. The pictures and the writings were great. You should let ride along again sometime.
Your friends, Mike and Susie
