(Once again I was unable to get on line at the ranch... I'm posting this as we drive along Interstate 90 on our way to Mount Vernon.)


Yesterday was dentist day. The best part of going to the dentist is getting to spend some time with our niece Becky who is our Dental Hygienist. She is my Brother Pat's oldest daughter. The mother of two little boys, Becky gets more beautiful every time I see her.

Other then having a year's worth of cleaning to do, we both had good checkups. One more thing checked off our to-do lists. We did get to have a quick lunch with Becky at Dairy Queen before she had to get back to work.

We went home from Moses Lake on Rosenoff Road (we'd come in on the freeway) and had to wait for a flag person who was stopping traffic while these huge poles were being unloaded from a truck --

Evidently because of all the new potato sheds and other farm activity along this road, they are replacing all of the power poles (the new pole is lying on the ground). I have seen large concrete and metal poles as we've traveled, but have never seen these large tapered laminated poles before --

This is the new gate Jeff and the boys have built at the ranch --

We had a "Blue Moon" tonight. This is the second full moon this month. I took this picture as it was rising through the trees in the windbreak --
