Mile Post Marker: Happy Birthday Mom!

4/15
Yesterday a group of us went to Snoqualmie Casino to celebrate Mom 's 86th anniversary of her birthday by having a get together at their buffet, and yes, Mom went also. When the word first went out it was just a few of us (Diane, Lori, Connie and I) who planned the initial get together. When yesterday at the buffet happened there were 25.
 Mom is like a family magnet.
I will not attempt to name all that were there, but Kaleb and Tawnie announced that a great grandchild was expected in the future. It was a loud and happy group that joined in on the Sno Buffets Happy Birthday sing along, focused on Mom.
Happiness in found in the moments.
I believe all that were present had fun. It was a good time.
If you ever want to feel like a 12 year old going off to camp, telling your mother good bye at 64 is a great way to relive that moment.

Moms' actual birthday.
Happy Birthday Day, Mom!
Connie and I are hoping this day brings what you want.
Love you, Mom.

We got up before 6:00 this morning to get the trailer ready to travel. We are newbies dealing with all the variables that come with full time Rving. It was 7:30 when we wrapped up the breaking of camp.
Broadmoor appeared before us around 9:15 and we pulled in and the process to fix the furnace and front door was initiated.
It is bloody windy today. Seemingly to have lean 45 degrees against the wind at times.
Cold too.
Connie has been focused on being warm for weeks now and this windy cold day at Broadmoor is not making this first day of freedom a happy one for her.
We spent much of the day figuring out and making reservations for our trip down 101.
Broadmoor finished with the adjustments by 4:30 and we had made reservations at Columbia Sun RV resort.
Luckily.
The check in at Columbia Sun Resort was very easy. They gave us a spot that was a back-in, we
used Passport America. It was set up on a corner and the backing in was straight in, so easy peesy.
We hooked up E, water and cable as quickly as possible in spite of the wind and cold.
The trailer has now been expanded and we just finished a dinner of pulled pork sandwiches.
While eating we did the equivalent of watching grass grow. We watched the tv scan for the cable channels available.
This can be very interesting.
Not!
It is what is now interesting at the end of the day.
We are now mindlessly watching the tv.
Again.
