Beautiful blue skies this morning as the temperature inches it way up the themometer to past 60 degrees. I can believe that if the breeze quieted down, it could get down-right hot here in Moses Lake. The fishing has been good according to Les and Phil ... it's the catching that isn't worth a darn, until last night when Phil caught hold of one nice trout. Fishing is sort of like playing golf or bowling: You swear it's not worth the effort after a string of bad shots or rolls then ... hit one on the sweet spot, roll a strike (or catch a nice fish) and you're back in the game with bells on!
Phil and I were busy taking care of some "to do's" yesterday which included going to the Moses Lake Farmer's Market (small but interesting), stopping at a few garage sales, getting our laundry done here at the park's laundromat and a visit with my first cousin, Byron's daughter, Brenda and her family. Brenda and her new husband, Patrick met last year and after a whirlwind romance, married and moved into their lovely, new home overlooking Moses Lake. Brenda, an elementary school teacher, continues to commute to Othello until the end of the school year. She hopes to find a position in Moses Lake for the 2005-2006 school year although she says the 30 minute commute isn't all that bad. Her daughter, Alyssa is in kindergarten and rides to school with her mom. We snacked on Brenda's delicious, freshly baked cookies. Thanks again Brenda!
Gloria and Lester got away early and managed to find about 35 garage sales to explore, in and around Moses Lake. They had a great time and found a few treasures (small-type) to bring home to their motorhome. Moses Lake is not very big (the population sign at the edge of town says 16,110) so in the course of our day out and about, we crossed each other's path twice! Oh, the many delights of a small town ... you can run but you can't hide!
