Roll on, Columbia....

If you visit Leavenworth (once is enough) I always stay in Wenatchee and have dinner at Visconti's. I have to travel to the coast once a year, and I never miss dining there.

Palouse Falls, south of Ritzville should be flowing nicely that time of year.

There's a museum there too, yes? I recall there were peacocks outside, and russian royalty gowns, etc., and clay models of famous people's hands made by Rodin (sp). There's standing model of Stonehenge along that side of the Columbia, too.

And friggin cold.

💖I love you guys

I have to add The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson. And The Lottery, same author but that might be in her short story collection.

And Journey to the Center of the Earth.

I hear you all. I understand all of you. But I'm a mom who needs 24 hour care at home for her daughter. We've been doing this for 37 years, and each year the availability of nurses gets thinner. Yes, the pay isn't quite Hospital pay but it's a break. It's a supplement if you need a bit of extra money. Please consider picking up one or two shifts a month in home health care. And you'll love your patients.

That's one of the best photos ever, Cascades or not. It's ethereal.
