Sunday, 4-19-10
Ok, as I am typing this today is actually 4-29-10 and we have been gone 3 weeks and our blog is still only up to the end of the first week. This blogging thing is not as easy as it sounds.
So, on Sunday, 4-19-10, we leave Cannon Beach and look for a good hamburger somewhere. We stop at the little town of Elma, WA, and come upon “Betty’s Kitchen”. There are several cars in the parking lot so it meets our first criteria for whether or not go in. We decide yes. Inside there is a long bar, a dance floor, booths to the side, and as we sit down we notice there is a man and three women playing poker at a table near us. Great burger and fries, highly recommend it if you are ever in Elma, WA.
I’m starting to notice a pattern here. I write a lot about the food we eat.
Anyway, finally at the end of week one we arrive at Jack and Sarah Knudsen’s in Seattle. Jack and dog Rex (a McNab breed – photo at beginning of blog) are in the driveway as we drive up. We’re still parking on uphill slopes so we back the van into their driveway. Tomorrow we have an appointment to get a new starter installed.
Jack and Sarah’s place is fabulous with a wonderful view of Issaquah below and Lake Washington in the distance. Jack has prepared a surprise dinner for us: baked ham, scalloped potatoes, coleslaw and corn muffins, accompanied with a bottle of Malbec wine. Dessert is his homemade pear tart. Dinner is wonderful! Notice I’m talking food again.
We get the guest room downstairs and Rex the Wonder Dog joins us at the foot of the bed (when he’s not between us).
