Thursday we invited Lee and Elaine over for some biscuits and sausage gravy, with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Great way to start the morning. Happy hour in the afternoon and Elaine made some delicious stuffed peppers, was so happy she shared the recipe.
Friday morning was moving day for our friends (Lee & Elaine) sad to see them go. We will catch up with them again, and we are always in touch with each other, Facebook makes this easy.
We were able to visit the local county Museum. Nice town museum, Lewis County. Use to be when doing a museum I would see things that I remember from my great grandmother or my grandma. Now with adding more age to myself, I am seeing things from my mom and ME. It is a joy as Len and I check out the museum and tell each other of our childhood while remembering things that are now "antiques". They really had a nice working display for model trains. It was set up were you could run the trains with a push of a button, yes, we pushed them all.
Saturday was breakfast at the clubhouse, BACON. (Funny story, after we said good bye to Lee and Elaine on Friday we headed for the clubhouse for breakfast. Usually smell the bacon when you get close, neither one of us was smelling it. The minute I step in the store to buy breakfast tickets, I realized it was FRIDAY, breakfast is served on Saturday and Sunday. What was worse ,half the staff was there. Everyone got a good laugh and we told them we would be back on Saturday).
Saturday night we took a ride on the local steam train. The train operates over a nine mile section of track that extends southwest of Chehalis. The line winds through some rolling hills, farmland and over several wooden trestles. We enjoyed talking with several of the employees/volunteers while on the ride and they were able to answer some questions we had and give us information on the area and train. Were told the gentleman that owns this line also owns the Silverton in Colorado.
Sunday we were off early to catch the Rust or Shine Car Show that was being held at the Veterans Memorial Museum. Was impressing the amount of cars they had. After the car show we checked out the museum and they were having an a an open house. The museum is mostly information on local service personnel, a large display of uniforms from all wars and a pretty good selection of firearms.
Sunday Len found a problem with the fridge (his beer wasn't cold). Have dreaded this might happen as the fridge was the original. So this morning (Monday) we took off early to Wal-Mart and purchased a mini-fridge. We will make do with this till we get back to Denver in October and at that time Len will decide if it gets repaired or replaced.
Last night our "new" friends (Bruce & Sue) we met here through Lee and Elaine, stopped by during their walk, they are such a fun couple, so glad we have become friends with them and hope to meet up somewhere down the road.
So the journey continues along with the fun, until next time........
