Practically Overnight

On Monday this tree was green. This is what it looked like this morning --


I think it's saying something to us! We are definitely thinking about our travels south the first part of next month. I think we are both ready.

We packaged up much of our work of the last week today and took a trip into Spokane to Goodwill. On the way, we stopped off at the Waste to Energy plant and deposited our recyclables, the plastic and glass bottles and the aluminum cans. It was quiet there today. I think the last time we stopped there, it was a Saturday and there was lots of traffic in and out. Today there was so little traffic the attendant was dumped the plastic bingees into the big dumpsters as soon as anything was put into them.

We had just gotten home when Sister Sherry called (we'd been playing telephone tag since yesterday). She had lots to say about Keiko San's dog show last weekend. Usually, the mastiffs don't do well in Group (the Working Dogs category). But this weekend two different judges placed him in Group. He got second one day and came in fourth the next. The dog has to place first in his/her own breed in order to show again in Group. It will be interesting to see what his national standings are after doing so well the last couple of weeks.

I washed a couple more loads today. I'm trying to get everything washed up before we move over to Peaceful Pines tomorrow where we won't have a sewer hookup and will be conserving water. Forry was unable to figure out what happened to the TV, so we are again listening to the Mariners on the radio.
