First Day in Spokane

We hit the ground running this morning, heading into Group Health to get our lab work done before next week's physician appointments. Since we had to be fasting for the blood work, we definitely were ready for brunch by the time we were finished. Frank's Diner is a Spokane institution. It's an old railroad dining car on 2nd that is always busy. We only had about a ten minute wait this morning, since it was mid-week. (It can be over an hour on the weekends, with lines out the door.)

We debated about making a Costco run or even going over to the Suzuki shop to check out the needed fender repairs after our blow-out, but we decided we would rather just go back to the RV and continue to rest up after our many days of driving. The other things can wait for another day.

Since we will be here at Ponderosa Falls for the next two weeks, we set out a few things that make it feel like home. The peacock seemed very glad to be outside in the breeze after being cooped up for the past couple of weeks... 

I spent the rest of the day doing laundry. It had piled up while we were traveling and we were down to very few clean clothes.

Plans are already in the air for an AHEC gathering. Betty, one of our colleagues, and her husband have their house on the market and are planning to move to Arizona. Therefore, the rest of the group would like to have a get-together before they leave. It's always fun to see everyone, so I'm glad it's in the planning stage already.
