It is just amazing how much you depend on email and don't realize it until you don't have it!!!! We are up and running again so send it to us!!! If anyone had email bounce, please resend it.
So, summer is getting close to an end. It has been a wonderful summer to be in the Seattle area, there has only been a couple of days of rain since we got here in May, it is really TOO dry for this area. The wild rhodedrendoms are drooping, it's is really sad to see, and of course, there is a fire ban in the county, probably most of the state, due to the dryness. Apparently the NY area is getting all our rain!!!
We are planning on leaving here on September 8th and head slowly up in elevation till we reach Durango, CO and will spend some time there with our good friends Kay and Doug Knight at the campground that they manage. From there, we haven't really decided for sure what we're doing yet. Rick wants to go to TX and Pam doesn't, does that tell you anything!! We'll see how the wind blows and what winter jobs may come up for us.

We aren't getting any emails
Our son who pays for our website let his credit card expire so everything is down and not working yet!! OUCH!! When your main communication is via email and internet, it sure puts a crimp on things. No telling how much email is bouncing back, hopefully no real good job offers for the winter!!!!
We are still in Fall City, WA until after Labor Day, then over to CO to visit with Kay/Doug Knight, then on down to warm winter areas. We really haven't made any plans yet, it will all depend on if we get a good job offer for the winter or not. Rick seems determined to go to Texas and then eastward for next summer, but I'm not so sure about that, needless to say it's been a MAJOR discussion this summer!!!
I can't believe that an ambulance call could be so expensive. While in Florence, AZ , Rick had an extremely low sugar (38) and the resulting lack of control from it, couldn't talk, couldn't stand or walk, just couldn't do anything or have any control. So I called 911, got good response from the ambulance crew who proceeded to give him dextrose via IV . Once he came around, he didn't really want to go to the hospital in Casa Grande (horror stories about it) and he was able to eat, talk, move. Well, next time that happens, he will go to the hospital, it won't matter where it is. Medicare won't cover the $1,000 bill as it wasn't "medically necessary" since he didn't get transported to the hospital. So guess who gets to pay it!!! The working woman of course. Good lesson learned. See, you can teach old people new tricks!
In the meantime, we've been enjoying an especially beautiful summer here in the Seattle area, one of the driest on record. Even the wild Rhodies are drooping from lack of moisture here!! But no complaints about the weather from the humans of course, other than the campers who think you have to have a fire when you go camping, even if it is 89 degrees outside. The county issued a burn ban again last week that will probably go through the summer now. We who don't like the smoke are cheering of course.
more later!!!!!
