Mystery Island (Nordland WA)

We have moved to Smithy's RV park outside of a small fishing village of Nordland WA one mile from Fort Flagler state park the owners are very nice and the folks that are staying here are very friendly. Kathy is a happy girl, has bird feeders up and our space big and has flowers & plants everywhere. We had our friend Marty over last evening for happy hour & dinner Kathy cooked a great southern dinner of fried chicken mashed potatoes green beans biscuit & gravy,Marty needed a wheelbarrow to get to his truck lol. Our sons will be over Sunday on the ferry and Kathy has another great meal planned ,I might need a wheelbarrow also if she keeps this up. Marty says he will come over here for a week in Aug when his Daughters and family come over to Ft Flagler for a camping outing I think we are going to Port Townsend this afternoon to the boatyard, the brewery there is putting on a BBQ and samples should be fun. Well until later folks, safe travels.

We stopped in North Bend for the night and sons David & Clay drove over from Renton to see us  we had  a great time cooked hamburgers and got caught up to date. The next day we arrived in Port Townsend the 15th one of our favorite towns, parked on the water and watched the yachts & sailboats move in and out of the harbor for four days and the weather was great . Moved up to Chimacum  to a SKP park and have been here running around here and David & Clay came over on the ferry Sunday 21st we spend the afternoon in the town of Bainbridge walking around the waterfront and just hanging out and enjoying the weather and sites, then they took the ferry back over to Seattle.

Kathy's Birthday wish

Hi folks yesterday was Kathy's Birthday I ask her what she wanted to do on her special day. So being the somewhat great husband that I am, off we went to little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge pronounced "pondoray" in northwest Washington for a day of bird & wildlife watching. The refuge is located about 50 miles from the Canadian border. We had a great day but did not see the amount of wildlife & birds that kathy had hoped to, but the scenery was wonderful and the weather was spot on. and you know the story" happy wife happy life" We had a great day. Well today is the 4th of July" Independance Day" please remember those men & women who gave so much for the freedom that we enjoy today. We are doing well and hope you folks are too. So enjoy life wherever you are and Safe Travels.

Clear Lake WA.

Rain, rain,rain it started raining when we left Missoula MT on Wed. and rained all the way here and today is Friday the 21st. Finally there is a little sunshine out there   Oh well life is good and we are settled in here thur 13 July. Went into Spokane (Fairchild AFB) yesterday about 9 miles from here dropped of a care package to our grandson Josh who is deployed to Guam just a few things like nuts & beef jerky, crackers and things like that to brighten up his day. stopped by the BX and commissary to pick up a few things Got me a Washington  fishing licence which cost a fortune wish states would be kinder to us old people but it cost to maintain fish & wildlife. also got a Washington state park pass which we use a lot when we are in the Seattle and Puget sound area.  Well not too much to add hope to start fishing soon when the weather permits hope all is doing well. Safe travels.
