WE'VE ARRIVED...via pictures that is...
Destination Washington!!!

Eastern Washington...like around Moses Lake area...they do lots of farming in here. Next picture is what we called a Wind Tornado Not sure what the technical real name is, but as you are driving, you see these in the dry fields...There is not a tractor or anything causing this, just the wind. You watch it for about 3 to 4 minutes, they start out small and then get larger and then disappear... We stopped in Moses Lake and ate with my Aunt Judi and cousins on our way thru to Grams. FYI...if you ever are close to a Shari's restaurant, take a minute for pie...pretty good stuff and any kind imaginable...

We got to Grams Sunday (Aug 29th) night about 5 or so. Daddy & Uncle Steve were working on Gram's back deck. We were luck enough for Monday to be a pretty day without rain to finish her deck up. And of course Tuesday, the rain moved in... We managed to dig up some Hens & Chicks to bring home. Some kind of plant Mom wanted & a few other ones. Then we were off to Ellensburg where my Aunt Sherri lives and where the family reunion was going to be held. On our way we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls. Daddy was telling me all kinds of things about places around here and playing at the foot of the falls. He grew up in this little town.. I wish the day had been pretty, because I'm sure this would have been an awesome shot on a pretty sunny day.
