Busy, busy

Yesterday was rather busy for me…I was about to head into town about 9:00 a.m. when I decided to call a new dog grooming place I had noticed. They said they could get Cheye in right then so I packed up Cheyenne and dropped her off at the “spa” for a haircut, shampoo and pedicure. From there I went over to the strip to gather some information for friends. You would think with all of the times I have walked to the casinos on the Vegas strip I would remember how far apart those casinos are! Yikes! I ended my fact finding mission at noon and ran home for lunch. The dog groomer had said Cheye would be done around 1:00 but it was more like 2:30 when they called, so then Dave & I went and picked her up. From there I went and got my hair cut and then stopped at Walmart for a few groceries. Whew!! Awful lot of running for me these days!

We’ve been to the Post Office a couple times expecting mail but it hadn‘t arrived. Today we tried again and it finally made it… yeah! Since we were so close to Camping World we thought we’d stop in. Dave’s been wanting to get a portable gas campfire and they had the one he wanted on sale, so we got one. After that is was back to the trailer and relaxation.

Capital Day

This should have been my August 5, 2008 post but I couldn't get our Verizon aircard to work!

This morning (8/5/08) it looked like another lazy day, but once we got some information we needed to get our vehicles registered in South Dakota we were off to Olympia. If you weren’t aware Olympia Washington is the State Capital and it happens to be the town closest to Chehalis that has a branch of our bank! We needed to get a form notarized so off we went. Once in Olympia we decided since we were so close to Tacoma we would just zip on up to Camping World. We spent about 45 minutes wandering the store, purchased a few things, and headed back south. After a stop at Costco (got some yummie pastries and peaches) we went back to the trailer. We only got stuck in slow traffic once on the way up and once on the way back. That always reminds me why I don’t like living in big cities.

After we got back we had dinner and then took Cheye for a walk. There is an area here at the park that is wide open but away from the trailers and a lot of us with dogs let them run in that area. We met T-bear there, a little white fuzzy dog and his owner Sheri (hope I spelled that right!) Cheye had been in the pickup most of the day and needed to burn up some energy and T-bear helped her out. Cheye crashed after we got home... thanks T-bear!
