Well, here I am again. We are back from Ocean shores. Wed we spent the day doing stuff for me and Leroy gave up a day of fishing. We went to the beach, they have a mile of dog leash beach, and we had a blast. Iris never goes in the water but there was a shallow area tide pool and Sallee was going into it fetching her toy. Then the toy sunk and she couldn't find it. Off came my shoes and up rolled the pant legs and into the water i went. Then i was calling the dogs into the water and Sallee happily came. Well Iris who never goes into the water couldn't stand Sallee having all the fun and treats and she got brave and jumped in. Pretty soon i had them both swimming over and back until poor Sallee just looked at me like i can't make it this time. It took quite a while but i finally tired them down. We took them home and then went to rain forest they have here. It is 123 acres that was donated to the city. It is a landlocked rain forest with miles and miles of trails. We walked for quite awhile and finally gave it up. We have spent lots of time looking at property here just to get an idea of what is out there and what things cost. After lunch we went to the small arcade and played miniature golf. They have two really good and cute courses. After all that we headed home.
Thurs Jeff and his friend and friends mother came to see us. I was washing clothes and Jeff helped me finish. Good thing as the top dryers were to high for me to get the clothes out of. We went to lunch, his friend paid, and then went to the arcade and not only played a round of golf and some arcade games but we did water bumper cars. That was fun. Then we went to the beach after they left to go home and we ran the dogs. It was really windy so Leroy suggested we try my kite again. Well, guess what, i got my two string not only up by myself but flew it for quite a while. I am starting to learn control and am working on straight lines back and forth. Then I will start on a box shape. Leroy flew it for a while and had it doing all sorts of things. i thought i did OK and nothing that day had bothered my menieres. BUT, that nite I had a doezy of a meniers attach and i have been fighting it ever since. I never even thought about that being a problem.
We left the beach on Fri afternoon, intending to be back for an agility trial in Monroe that weekend. Well, we made it, but problem was, it was the wrong weekend. We missed it by one. So, what to do, what to do. Go to the casino and stay for the weekend, called whidbey and our friend said fort Casey was full, what to do, what to do? Well, how about stay here for the weekend. Leroy loves the sat nite races, fairgrounds is almost free and there is always something to do. So fairgrounds it was. We set up and then had supper. Well, we had FRESH CRAB we had gotten before we left by the friend we met. OMG was it good, so we had a crab salad for supper at 9 pm and then CRASH.
We are now at the fairgrounds. Nothing fancy but hey, it works. Today we ran errands and that is where Leroy found and bought that silly deal to make his iPhone louder. Actually it does work. He paid .96cents for it and we have had that much fun out of it. He then went over to the races when we came home. He only has to walk over. He goes early so he can watch the time trials. I took the car and the dogs and went over by a little lake and walked on their trails. It is beautiful. The day turned out to be warm and sunny and during our walk it clouded over and you could just see the rain coming in. But we got a couple of miles in.
We try to walk the dogs about 4 miles/day which we succeed in doing 50-70% of the time. But we make 2 miles at least 90% of the time. It is usually broken up in 2-3 walks a day.
So we will probably head back to the island on sun afternoon or Mon am. We would like to get in at Ft Casey but we will see.
We have been busy organizing our photos and info for little flat Maysen as we want to get him back fairly soon. It sure has been fun having him with us.
As I sit here, i hear the races near me, not very far away. Good thing we are flexible travelers, or this would be difficult for most people.
Oh hey, we saw a camper today in Monroe, specially built, looked like a metal pig. Pretty unique and caused many honks and waves. He was sitting by me at the light.
