AUGUST 2, 2010 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTY

It's been almost 3 weeks since the last blog, guess it's time for an update.
Finally got back in touch with the doctor, about the blood/urine test and she said we could wait until we get to Bakersfield, to do follow up, since we will be there for a month. We got back on the road 7/13 and stopped in Omak Washington, at a Wal-Mart. On the drive 3 deer came running down the mountain side, luckily we were driving pretty slow and managed to not hit them. The next day we drove to the Elk's Lodge in Spokane, WA. and again a deer ran right in front of us and Dave managed to stop, I thought for sure we were going to hit it. Of course everything in the back of the RV was then in the front of the RV.
Bob and Jackie met up with us on the 15th. We stayed 2 more days in Spokane then headed to Gary, Alana, and Christy's house right on the Priest River. We got both RV's parked right behind their house/garage where we have a view of the lake in front of us. Late in the afternoon the guys, Gary and Bob, put Gary's boat into the water and tied it to the dock. We set up chairs and relaxed enjoying watching people in their boats tubing and water ski's. The ladies went in to start dinner and the next thing we know Gary got his truck real fast and they were pulling the boat out. One of the neighbors were going by in their boat and yelled out to Gary that his boat was sinking, he forgot to put the plug in. Once the boat was out it seemed like it drained forever. I don't know what damage it did but the guys keep working on it and it hasn't been back in the water yet. The boat is over 20 years old but doesn't have that many hours on the water. Gary was having some trouble with one of the Sea Doo's but I think they got that all fixed. The guys have also been helping Gary put up dry wall in the house that is being built. They even managed to put together a working bathroom in time for Christy's birthday party this past weekend.
One day Alana, Christy, Jackie and I left at 9:30 in the morning to go into down town Spokane, we didn't get back until 11:00 p.m. we did running around and 1 stop was at the casino where we had some play time. All of us won on the slot machine, not a lot but at least we won.
I've been trying to get out and walk around but there isn't much room on the country roads. One day I was gone for 2 1/2 hours, walked over 8 miles boy Dave was upset for me being gone so long. He doesn't like the roads around here.
Saturday and Sunday we celebrated Christy's birthday. Lots of people came by for the BBQ, steaks on Saturday, chicken and left over salads on Sunday. Late in the afternoon I went out on the Sea Doo with Dave and we managed to suck up this green grass stuff and the Sea Doo wouldn't do anything but idol so we manage to idol back to the house. They had to pull it out of the water and pull all that crap out of the prop. Later I went out again with John and it was a lot of fun. Candy and John even took Christy out on the Sea Doo, Christy loved it. Dave tried to ski and almost got up, he actually needed a different pair of ski's he was using 2 slaloms, that's all
Gary had.
Today we are headed out to either Priest Lake or Coeur d'Alene the weather is suppose to be in the 80"s again.
We all get back on the road August 4th, will really hate leaving this place but planning on coming back next year.
