We are packing up for our departure tomorrow morning to visit Mary.
Day I: Got off to an early start this morning Wed the 18th. Good drive over. A little foggy from about Rye Grass to almost Spokane. Lots of leftover snow in the Spokane area. Especially in Mary's neighborhood. I am trying to get Mary's network. The wireless router may be toast.
Day II: Once again I find myself being a Starbucks rat. I had to come down to the local Starbucks at the bottom of Five Mile (about a quarter of a mile, the way the crow fly's) from Mary's. Anyway there seems to be a lot of morning activity here and great WIFI I guess I should head back up the hill and start the day with Anita and Mary. Mary has a big Picassa project in store for me today, For Isabel.And possibly try to figure out the router delema so I can do my geek stuff from my own computer. I saw a notable pile of snow on my to Starbucks. Got home just intime to see Isabel off to school for the day

. I think I have come to the conclusion that the router is TOAST! Now it's time to concentrate on Mary's project.

Day III: Back at Starbucks for that morning coffee before anyone is up at Chez Frey. I think today will be filled with more of Mary's photo project. Mary seems to be getting the hang of Picassa and the process. This really makes me happy as when she gets a feel for it the possibilities are endless.
This AM Starbucks experience is amazing. The traffic thru here shows me why coffee is such a big business.
Picked up a new router at Costco and now life is once again good. Fran and Barb Burkart joined us for dinner. The evening was full of good food, good friends, and great laughs.

Day IV: Starting early. Now no need to head to Starbucks with my new router spewing out wifi all over the house. There is talk of checking out the cabin at Diamond lake today.  We made it to the lake. Lots of left over snow. The trip was well worth it. Tommy even made a snow angle out on the lake and one fine snow angle she was. All in all it was another great day. I am thinking tommorow we will be fireing up the Rav4 and point it west. By the way Billy, If you are reading this we did score on your BBQ sauce.

Day V: Heading west, Out of Spokane around 10:00. After a good drive home with a couple of coffee and P stops we were home around 3:00pm.
GOOD Adventure.
