Hurricane Ridge

Verle made chapatis, Don made hash browns and scrambled eggs and Paul Z made bacon and sausage.  Another yummy meal.

Then some of us went on a walk.

Where are we and how do we get back??

We got back in time to get to the Commons for Verle's devotions.  He had some interesting comments.  Elaine sang a closing song, which was very nice.

Then we piled into the van and 2 cars to go to Hurricane Ridge.  It was about 2 hours away.

packed in like sardines.

first stop, lunch.  We were hungry by the time we got to Hurricane Ridge.  After lunch we walked a trail. 

Gorgeous weather, perfect day.

 We gathered about 2:30 pm to head home.  We had to stop for gas.

Graham makes a great window washer.

To keep David awake in the van we did some singing.

We drove home in time to start making dinner.  We had another feast on the table by 7 pm.  Meatball curry, eggplant curry, egg curry (which our house made - I pealed the eggs.), bean and coconut dish, rusam, poppadoms, chicken kabobs, chicken biryani, mango slices and mango pudding for dessert.

More songs, slides and announcements 

one might think that I was drunk with this picture of the beautiful moon.  Not the case, but I could not hold the camera steady.  It was a gorgeous moon.  No coyotes tonight.

Karen got a better picture of Venus & the moon.

Many people will be leaving tomorrow so we started our good-byes.
