Is Summer Winding Down?

It's been noticeably cooler this week. We've had cool nights and very comfortable days. There's been a bit of rain and lots of partly cloudy skies. The roadsides and hills are dry and sere. The pine needles and cones are beginning to drop and the ground is littered with the needles.

People seem anxious to get in one or two last weekends of camping before school starts. Pleasant Pines RV Campground is full tonight, except for one tent space across from us. There are a lot of people in town today because Eastern State University played their first of the season football game today (which they won.). The Seahawks played their last exhibition game yesterday (which they won.). The Mariners are talking about a pennant run (which means they won their last two games - the one yesterday after two outs in the ninth inning!).

It seems like we've been stuck in Spokane all summer and now will be here into the fall. In one way I am glad to see Fall arrive. It means we are just a bit closer to finishing all the medical stuff so that we can once more be on our travels.
