A Trip to Costco

Man, did it ever pour last night! Sometime during the night it began raining so hard it actually woke us up. The wind was blowing pretty hard and driving the rain against the motorhome. It sounded like someone was washing the side with a fire hose.

This morning it was overcast and gloomy with occasional showers. There were lots of puddles in all the roads through the campground at Erie Resort. The flock of geese that inhabit the place were having a good time eating the wet grass. At one time I counted 47 of the birds in three different groups around the motorhome.

I looked up Costco addresses on the internet and found three in the area. The one in Toledo was the closest, so we headed in that direction. By the time we got there, the clouds had disappeared and the sky was blue. I had taken along a jacket as it was chilly when we left, but needed the air conditioner instead.

We had not been near a Costco for quite some time, so re-stocked our larder this afternoon. We were able to get some gorgeous Ranier cherries and some apricots from Yakima, Washington. I got a chuckle out of the greenhouse heirloom tomatoes they were selling. They had six of them in a plastic box for $6.99. I wonder if they have the flavor of the ones Brother Patrick grows?

And of course, we had to eat dinner out -- Forry does love his Costco Polish dogs!
