What Is Happening At The Watlands

I was reminded today that I needed to update my blog. Amazing how time flys and I discovered I have not reported anything since the middle of July. Well lets see we were in Chelan a few days took a car full of stuff to the motor home for our trip and did some work organizing the storages and checking out things. We spent from Fri the 18th to the 23rd. It was a bit warm like 90's while we were there so spent time at the pool. One day we played water volly ball for two hours found some muscles that hadn't been used for while. Amazing haha.

On July 23rd we come back and stopped in Redmond to visit Kim & Ray and Noelani. She changes so much every time we see her.

Starting on July 24th Jerry has been working a security job at the trade center for 9 days for a Microsoft function. He works 12 hour shifts and then two and half hours travel time so becomes a long day. I am still working a few days at Costco doing product demo's but will be retiring again on Aug 15th. It is fun when you can work when you want to and retire again when you want to. haha

On Friday the 25th I spent the day with my granddaughter Gabby we went to a movie "Mama Mia" it was good. Then we went to lunch at Johnny Rockets. We had a great day.

On Monday I met Kim and Baby at Issaquah we had lunch at Julia's in Gillman Village it was Noelani's 2 month birthday. Later on that afternoon I met Teresa at Auburn Reginal Med Ctr for our Excercise session. In the evening I went with two neighbor ladies to the Muckleshoot to bingo but guess what we all were close several times but they just could not call that final number for us. Oh well we had fun anyway. So Monday was a very busy day.

The rest of the week it has just been working around the house for me and Jerry has been off to work those long days. He only has one more day.

Thats about it for now will hopefully do better posting. I will have to get very good when we leave on our trip or I will be hearing from the children by phone but it is good I have caller I-D I can screen the calls. Just Kidding I would never do that. Love to all.

The Past Week and Half Happenings

Kim visited us on Wednesday with baby Noelani. She changes every time we see her. We took a trip to Costco to get diapers. Had lunch there Wahoo!

Then Teresa and I went and had pedicures which was fun.

We are trying to spend as much time with the childrens as we will be leaving in August and they think that is to soon.

Jerry and I went picking Raspberries with our neighbors so been enjoying eating those yummy berries.

Today Kim and baby come down and she seems to have changed since the last time I didn't realize they changed so much each week.

Well that is about it for this posting.

Fourth Of July Week

Fire Works seemed to be going on for days before the big day and then for many hours during the night of the 4th.





We spent the 4th and 5th at SIR at the 20th Annual Pacific NW Historic Vintage Races. The cars in the picture are the Pacer cars. The Black one is the pacer car that goes around the track one time with all the race cars following keeping in steady lines the race does not begin tell the pacer car leaves the track. The white car is a car from the Mercedes Benz Phil Smart auto dealer. They supplied three cars for attendees of the races to sign up and go out before the Black Pacer car. We signed up and went out before the first race on July 4. The car in the picture is the one we road in. It was awsome going around the 2 1/2 mile track as you can only see half the track when sitting in the stands.

On Sunday the 6th we were blessed with a visit from Teresa, Scott and Gabrielle and Kim, Ray and Neolani and we all had dinner together and a great afternoon.

This pretty much wraps up the exciting part of our week.
