On two separate occasions, once in July and once in August, I was invited to visit the sun at my friend Mary's vacation home in Eastern WA along the Columbia River. This is no small thing, as though I realize it has been an unreasonably hot summer just about everywhere else in the United States this year, the opposite is true in Western WA. This makes two summers in a row with hardly any sun to show for it. You wonder why depression is so high in the PNW? There you go.
There is such a beauty to the dryness and various assortment of grasses where it is hot!
There were 5 of us the first time I went. Mary is missing n this picture, as she is snapping it. Janet and I knew only Mary (not even each other), but we all found the 5 of us were a great mix! Dry humor, great cooks because we all love to eat, flexible........ it was a wonderful time of meeting new friends!
Incredible cliffs
We rode around in the golf cart, did a few walks, played Hand and Foot (Marvel and Janet cheat), collected fallen apricots in the area and made delicious desserts and spent time reading by the swimming pool! Heaven! And yes, here I was receiving yet another call from work....... LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!!!!
Thanks so much, Mary!
