Happy Veterans Day!

We're back in Entiat waiting for our new home to be finished. We're suppose to close on Friday, the 16th. We had our new hot tub delivered last Thursday and even gave it a try on Friday night.

We've been busy the last couple of weeks. We headed to Seaside, Oregon for a square dance weekend on October 26th. It was a two day event held at the convention center in downtown Seaside. We stayed just north of Seaside at Camp Rilea - a small military training camp. While there we visited Ft. Stevens State park and took a bike ride, visited Lewis and Clark National Park (didn't even know it existed), and walked on the beach near Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach. The weather was pretty nice all week, so we were lucky in that regard. We also purchased two new TV's at Costco in Warrenton. We also saw lots of elk near our camping spot.

From Seaside, we headed to Vancouver, Washington for another weekend square dance event. This was a plus level weekend that was lots of fun and very challenging. The callers sure put us through our paces. We danced Friday night, Friday morning from 10 to 12, Saturday afternoon from 1:30 to 3, Saturday evening, and again Sunday morning. We were also able to catch up with a square dance friend (Bob Perkins) who lives in the Vancouver area. We enjoyed visiting with him and having dinner out with him both Friday and Saturday evening.

Sunday we headed back to Wenatchee. We stayed at Confluence State Park for the week. This morning we headed up to Connie's son's home in Entiat. We're planning to take the train to Everett on Wednesday morning, get a bus to the Budget truck rental place, load up our storage unit stuff, stop at the commissary in Smokey Point (Marysville), pick up some stuff in Granite Falls and head over the pass. We really hope it's not snowing that day!
