Hi there from up North. About time I did this again since we covered a lot of miles since the last one.

We headed to Issaquah to visit Kris and one of my "other kids" Andi.

Andi and Eric live near the University in Seattle. We got the whole tour and what a great house and garden. They even have hops for Eric's beer growing in the backyard. Sure was nice to give Andi a hug and see her again. Sorry we missed Eric.... next time.

We headed to Snoqualmie falls East of Issaquah for a great morning. Here's my two best girls.

From Issaquah we drove to the farm to visit Ginny and Arnie. Seems we do this every year and love it every time. Here Arnie is talking to his watermelon. He has a great melon patch with both watermelon and cantaloupe. As long as he keeps raising them we'll keep visiting and eating.

Part of Thursday was spent at Rick"s (son in law)

spraying business. Rick was kind and gracious as I pumped him with about a million questions. This is Rick's Ag Tractor aircraft. Needless to say it was a super interesting morning.

Arnies' acres RV park is still in business..... spaces have doubled and Wi Fi has been added.

Jack and Gail joined us on Friday....... Here they are hard at work on the farm.

We had to take the mandatory group photo. Steve was good enough to do the photography and we all looked as good as we could.

Thanks for a great visit Ginny and Arnie!!
See you next year!

Tonight we are near Port Angles with three days to look around here. More later.
