A Day at the Beach

The beach and water called us on a warm sunny summer day here. So we packed a picnic and headed to Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island, about 25 miles from where we are staying. Cookie enjoyed the new smells and lots of walking! Finished the day with a soft ice cream cone in Anacortes. Enjoy the pictures of our great day!A boat has come under the bridge and headed to the San Juan Islands.


The bridge that we have gone under many times in our boats.


One of the many beaches, a combination of sand and stones.


Cranberry Lake, a fresh water lake right next to the salt water beach.

Admiralty Inlet with the Olympic Mountains in the background - a perfect picnic lunch scene!

Moved

We are now at the Mount Vernon Elks RV Park. It is a nice little park with huge sites. Lots of parking for visitors so come on over! The owner at the other park decided to get "greedy" so we went looking and found this wonderful place and much cheaper.

Ralph had labs and doctors last Monday. His platelets did not drop any lower from chemo - 72 and normal is 150. Doctor assured us they would not find anything abnormal on his CT scan so to quit worrying - these doctors are cautious about what they say so that sounded real good! He goes back on the 17th for labs, doctor, port flush and then they will schedule his CT scan for early June. He is slowly recovering - sleeping less and his hands and feet have less numbness each day.

For those following our refer saga we do believe it is finally fixed after a year. The new doors seem to be sealing now and it is maintaining correct temps, working on gas and even making ice cubes! The remainder of our repairs/replacements will be done at the factory when we go back in Sept.

We are now on our second Samsung home theater system that seems to be working correctly. Now our living room Samsung television is either being repaired or replaced. Cookie loves laying on the bed with us so she loves the new program - with no living room television we go to bed real early! Everyone tells us Samsung is a good product - guess we got the bad batch!

All the rain we did not have last winter has arrived for April and May so far! Sure hope it gets dry and warm again real soon!
