Friday went to the Chiropractor and then to a farmers market in downtown. They closed down several streets for the market. We bought tomatoes, apples, sweet corn, bread, green beans, a fresh fruit drink from a Hawaiian style drink maker (oranges, bananas and strawberries), some beef from a local rancher and I bought a bouquet of flowers for Kim. I know she really appreciates flowers. When we got home I fell asleep in the recliner outside and Kim read and listened to me snore.
While in Richland we went to Anthony’s restaurant. It is a very nice place with a view of the lake and really good food. We liked that the kitchen is out in the open where we could see them making the food. The cooks were real chefs and it showed in their attitudes that they liked what they were doing. After eating at Anthony’s we walked outside and toured an outside boat show. The must have had several hundred boats. We say some Smoker Craft that were mad in New Paris, IN.
When we got to Richland we found that our neighbor on the right retired from asphalt making equipment manufacturing. He sold his company a little over a year ago. As we left we met the neighbor on the other side and he just retired from a ready mix company in southern California. His sister now runs the company.
We arrived at Silver Creek tonight where we’ll be for a week. Our neighbors pulled in just after us and are from South Carolina. His name is Jack and hers is Sylvia. They are really nice people and we look forward to getting to know them over the next few days. For the next week we’ll be visiting Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier. I hope to take a helicopter ride over Mt. St. Helens. Some other RV’ers highly recommended it.
