When I got up on Thursday I didn't want to get out of bed. Because today I hads to finish up packing and head down to Spokane. All day I washed clothes and packed and did some final stuff for the kids and the house. I washed linens and changed beds. The weekend before that I had decorated for HArvest time because I figured I'd be down through Thanksgiving. I think I might have been SPOT ON on that one.
Doug packed a bag and he decided to leave from Warden and shave 40 extra minutes and gas off his trip. He left work about 5, we left home about 4 so we got the The Holiday Inn Express just in time to check in and get up to the room and Doug got there. As always Holiday inn was nice. This particular hotel sits on top of the hill downtown Spokane and has a great view of the city and the river. We were up high, so that was nice and I enjoyed standing in front of the window looking at the city that night when I couldn't sleep...it was really relaxing.I LOVE city lights.
We went to dinner, Diane, Doug and I at PF Chang's and had yummy food...then we ran all over the city looking for a Cribbage Board so Doug and his Mom and Amanda could play Cribbage while I recuperated in the hospital. NO LUCK. Walgreen's, Walmart, Rite Aide and somethin else we not stocking a Backgammon Board or even a cheezy little plastic Cribbage Board...we had a couple or ones at home that I had forgot to bring but I forgot. I think in order to NOT think about Friday's events...we all zero'd in on the stinkin' Cribbage Board. We blathered on and on about the injustice of it all but in the end, it was great because what a ya know, we passed the time and before you know it...it was time to pick up Pam and get to bed and get up and get on with it.
They did find the Cribbage Board, by the way, I forgot to ask where...Laugh. I was glad.
