We (That is the editorial "we") got the laundry done after we went shopping. We found a nice "country" sign for Cathy and while the rest of "we" were inside shopping Molly and I sat outside. I saw a book on the sale table about an arctic explorer and under that book was another book called "Gratitude" with each page a thank you and a short paragraph.
Grabbed it up!
This is our last supper together. We had a great trip and all three marriages are still healthy as is all six friendships! We are the perfect traveling companions. All of us accept the craziness of the others, and all of us can take some teasing. We will miss getting up and on the road by 9:00 and setting down to dinner every evening.
Cathy was wearing her tour directors hat again and found an outing for us. Just down the road and a short walk was the head waters of the Columbia river. We all agreed that would be worth seeing so after supper we made our way to the trail head. The girl at the information center failed to inform our tour director that the trail went through the mosquito tunnel of hell. We sprayed ourselves and each other with mosquito attracting anti-bug spray. There were clouds of mosquitoes around each and every one of us!
We made the half mile walk, saw the headwaters, and got the heck out of there!
Molly found some water to splash and play in and was nice and wet when we got back to the truck. Glad she rides in the back seat.
Tomorrow we split up in different directions, so we had to stop at the ice cream shop on the way back.
