Saturday in Mount Vernon

 


Morning

Debbie and Joe's home


Our morning walk to the lake.  There were 22 fishing boats out on the lake. Today was the opening day of the fishing season.

Joe's car parking lot.

Phil

We had a tour of Debbie's work station with her new resin art projects.

Mt Baker

We drove to the local club to play pickleball



George wasn't actually going to play.





Ouch - Joe just tore his Achilles tendon!!  Game over.  We headed home.

George was helping Debbie with her computer

Testing for a tear or partial tear

Nathan helped to get plants down so they can be watered easier later.

Joe showed us some of the work he had been doing on his vehicles.


Joe has been on the phone a lot trying to set up doctor visits. 

After a couple more card games and a neighborhood walk we went to dinner. We drove to downtown Mount Vernon.


Cork and Cleaver




What a delicious meal that I forgot to take pictures of.  I had a filet with brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes.  Yummy 


We ordered the chocolate torte and the banana foster






 


Amazing

We got home in time for the sunset.
And of course, another rabble rousing card game.

A Visit to Debbie & Joe's

 George, Nathan, and I were heading off to visit Debbie and Joe for the weekend.  We took the 2:10 pm train.  We drove to the train station and then Rebecca took the car.  She was going on to work.  



It was a gorgeous day for a train ride.


Crossing into Washington


A rabble rousing card game.


Tacoma has some cool artwork 

We had a little longer stop in Seattle.  Nathan got out to get some fresh air.

The sun made it difficult for him to get a picture of us.

Arrived in Mount Vernon around 7:30 pm

Debbie met us at the train station.


We made it to Debbie and Joe's.  

Debbie had made a delicious falafel and salad dinner.  Of course we had to have a card game. It was a nice relaxing evening.
