Well, I'm getting better! Only one month since my last post:) I keep forgetting to come here to post. But, alas...here I am again!

So...in my last post I said that Jane and I had discovered Letterboxing, and that we hoped to find 5 letterboxes that afternoon. Sadly, we were only able to find one of the five we were looking for. But! When we went on our road trip in August, we were able to find 4 of the 7 we were looking for. And, we also found one near my house in a city park. It is so much fun! Even for "old" ladies:) (BTW...I am NOT old!)

Road Trip...in August, Jane and I went on a road trip to the Grand Coulee Dam and Spokane area. She wanted to see the dam, and invited me along with her. On the way, we stopped at the Mary Hill Museum... not to go into the museum, but to look for 3 letterboxes! We only found one of them. It was fun looking though.
After that, we headed on to Toppenish, WA where I spent five years of my life (ages 10-15). We looked up several places of interest to me and we also took a tour of murals that were painted on the buildings. There are over 70 of them. It was quite interesting. I think one of them was actually painted by the dad's of one of my friends I had when I lived there.
On to Ellensburg, where we spent the night. Next morning it was off to find two letterboxes in Ellensburg...which we did! woohoo! Very fun places they were in:)
Then we were off to Grand Coulee where we viewed a laser light show on the dam at 9:30 PM. It was very good. We spent the night in a bed and breakfast there.
Next day we were off to Spokane, but on the way, we went through a couple of towns where my dad and aunt and uncle and lived. It was fun to see the places where they had lived. They are very small towns, and so I'm sure they haven't changed much since dad lived there over 60 years ago. When we got to Reardon, Jane got to do the other "goal" she had on our trip...visit a quilt shop! She had fun for about an hour. We then headed to eastern Spokane to find Newman Lake (to look for a letterbox...which we could not find, and to find the campground where I went to church camp...found the place where the camp was, but it has houses built there now.) We drove into Idaho, so we could say were there! We spent the night in Spokane.
On Sunday, we went to see my cousin's Ruth and had lunch with her and Sid. I was so glad we were able to see them. Sunday afternoon took us home. What a fun, but tiring trip! I guess I'm getting too old for such ventures. BTW...I am NOT old!
Now...what else is happening in my life? Well, here it is...school has started, and I don't know if I want to sub or not. I put my name in to sub, but wasn't sure I really wanted to do that. So, I looked in the paper, and found a dentist office looking for a front office receptionist. So...I sent my resume and the letter of Recommendation Roberta had written for me. I had an interview on Tuesday. Sounds like a good job, but not sure I really want to work fulltime...Guess I'll just wait and see if I get offered the job! I need to have time off to be with Tom when he has his surgery, and to be with my aunt Anita when she has her surgery. I also want my summers off! But, the job did sound nice...we will see.

Guess that's all till next time!
