A Brief Respite

We have been on the road for nearly three weeks now and have spent only one night in a motel (our first night of the trip in Tulsa).  Tonight we are resting well in the home of extremely generous friends.

Our new, next door neighbors from home just happen to have a summer house here in Sammamish and were kind enough to invite us to spend some time with them.  We have spent two wonderful, restful days here. 

On our arrival, Nancy planned for a trip to the Marymoor Dog Park with her dog Boo and Rox.  Roxanne is now totally convinced that Washington is Golden Retriever heaven.  The dog park was fabulous with miles of trails to hike and several places along the way to jump into the river.  Of course, no need to guess where my water dog wanted to go!

Surrounded by a dozen other swimming dogs, Rox was so happy she simply didn’t know what to do.  Someone would throw a ball or stick for their dog, and Rox would swim along side that dog or try to fetch it herself.  After we were done at the park, we found an adjacent dog wash establishment and gave her a much needed bath.  (Ah, the joy of having a clean dog!)

Friday has been spent catching up on maintenance needs.  David took the Xterra in for an oil change and ran a few other errands while I did three loads of laundry and caught up on the blog.   

We’re back on the road tomorrow morning.  Hopefully, we’ll find an internet connection to upload everything soon.

Until then, know that we are well and enjoying the generosity and friendship of some wonderful folks.  Thank you, Nancy, Fereydoon, and Boo!
