My adventure

Well it isn't Asia but it will be an adventure just the same. As I am always trying to sell my products and looking for new venues I came across a huge flea market/festival in Packwood, WA. (It is by Mt. Rainier near Ohanapakosh...should sound familiar to Jim & Effie, we used to camp there) The whole town shuts down and vendors line the streets and parking lots. Festival is in its 25th year and gets lots of tourists. I am staying with 2 other gals in the Seasons Motel. Not the Four Seasons I'm sure. Pictures to follow.
I am recovering from a back injury which has my siatic nerve screaming. Very painful first week. So no tennis or golf since beginning of July. I thought I was ready to resume my athletics but I had another flareup. Unloading the dryer of all things.
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my grandchild. 2 more months.

Why we are off to Asia

Lara asked why we are going to Asia. Bill was asked to speak at a conference and judge a design competition in Taipei, Taiwan. So, we decided to use the opportunity to visit a couple other places in Asia. We are going to Chaing Mai Thailand and Langkawi, Malaysia. We leave tomorrow, Aug 30th, and get back on Sept 16. Of course we will have email access so we'll stay in touch.

Here's a late night snack!

Off to Asia

I dont' know if I will have time to post after tonight. We leave for Asia Thursday at 5pm. We arrive in Thailand on Saturday afternoon - their time. I may occasionally post to WarroadRoots, but I think I will start a different blog and update it so this one isn't full of, "here is a picture of us at the blah blah blah". So, the few of you who regularly read this will need to post.

I will take care of September birthdays once we get settled. The only September birthday that I can think of is Monna, 9/21. Anyone else?

In the mean time. Enjoy this. It has nothing to do with anything. It's just nice.

29 Weeks Picture

I thought I would update Warroad Roots with a recent photo of me at 29 weeks. Here is also a picture of dad to be with the new stroller...he had fun putting that together. We also bought a new car this weekend, so we are slowly getting everything crossed off our list.

Friday night in Fargo

Well, guess what we did for excitement tonight? You'd never guess, so I'll just tell you. We all went down to the North Dakota Horse Park to watch (end bet) the ponies. Now, Longacres or Churchill Downs it isn't, but Theone and I had a great time. Bob, not so much. He says he prefers things withe more than 1 horsepower.

We didn't win any big money at $2 bets, but we watched 8 action packed races!! Yeee HAW!! Too bad we didn't bring a camera.

Tonight's Musical Interlude

She is brilliant, you know.
