Last week was a lazy one for us. We got to Lakewood on Sunday the 17th and parked in Mom's driveway. Monday we relaxed. Tuesday Tina and her two sisters drove to SeaTac and picked up Alicia (niece) who flew in from Wisconsin while I took the RV to Fife for servicing. Tuesday I drove to Federal Way and played pool with my buddy Pat. Wednesday and Thursday were shopping days for Tina and the girls while I spent the day reading and relaxing before heading to Federal Way and another pool session with Pat. Friday we spent helping to get ready for the early Thanksgiving family dinner. Of course I took one more opportunity to meet Pat for a few games of pool - heh, heh.
Saturday was a big day with cooking and cleaning - I even did the inside of the RV! By 3:00 pm everybody started arriving. Alicia, Kevin and Jo (Tina's brother and his wife), Shanda and Denise (Tina's sisters) Lori and Jay (our oldest daughter and her husband), Marni and Emma (our younger daughter and granddaughter), Amber and Chris (Shanda's daughter and her husband) with their two children - Kylie and Brodie. We were happy to see a new friend, Bob Hanft, who is dating Shanda. And also happy to see another niece and nephew -Falon Miller and Brandon Christensen. And then what a delight to see Zach and Ev Hays, longtime good friends of the family.
After a huge dinner of baked ham with all the trimmings, there was a surprise birthday party for Tina with presents and a cake. She celebrated a happy 54th! By 7:30 pm, things were pretty much cleaned up and everyone had gone home. Then we played some cards... Denise and Tina won again. Shortly after that Tina and I settled in for a nights rest along with the two rascals. Tomorrow - Day two of Getting Out Of Dodge. This leg, 20 miles (drive to Fife and back). Trip so far, 100 miles.
