On the Avenue

Steve wanted me to put a picture of our little ice cream parlor in his email but for some reason it wouldn't go on as an attachment so I'm putting it on the blog.

Bye Bye Food Depot

It will be so strange not to have our grocery store here anymore. This will be one of the many empty stores in our town of Okanogan to be sitting empty. Omak is doing well with businesses but not Okanogan. It is sad although I must admit I didn't shop here much because their prices are so high. It was convenient for little stuff.

What a MESS!

Well this is what we found when we went in our rental house next door!!! The first picture is the laundry room right inside the back door. We have some really nice people that are interested in renting the place but I am so afraid for them to see this. These renters said they'll be back Tuesday so we are hoping that this will be taken care of, but I doubt it. This is what it looked like when they were living here but we didn't know it until about a month ago and we knew they were leaving so we didn't say anything. We walked around the outside after they left yesterday and saw the mess outside so decided to be the inside. Not only that but they didn't shovel all the snow off of the deck and it has collapsed. :(

A friend told us that some research has shown that putting a banana peel on a headache will help make it go away. Dad was so desparate, he tried it. Unfortunately, it didn't work. The fruit salad was good though.

Old Fogies

Well it worked. I had to make it a lot smaller (it's an 8x10). Also had to lighten it, somewhat. Grandpa had an appointment at the VA hospital so we went to a mall and played a little first. It was embarrassing though because this was right out in the middle of where people were walking and when we finished we stepped out and saw that people could watch which pose we were picking, etc. Plus there was no sides on this booth. Oh well, we didn't know anybody!

Mama Dog

I put this on to see if there was something wrong with my blog. Dad and I were being silly when we were in Spokane yesterday and had our picture taken in one of those "booths." For some reason the blog won't accept it. I'll keep trying. Poor little Christie, she's in pretty good shape physically but mentally ????

Who's Winning?

This is the way we spend these long cold winter evenings. First a game of Pinocle and then Oh "Heck":)
