We have been sort of lazy the last few days–it has been very rainy and cold. So since it was actually nice today, we decided to take a bike ride. We drove south a ways, then rode north along the Burke-Gilman trail. It was a 4-mile round trip ride–not as far as we had gone before, but it was uphill the whole way back, so we were both kind of tired. Since we were so close, Kevin wanted to stop at Dick’s hamburger stand. Dick’s is famous in Seattle, but I had never eaten there before. We each had two regular burgers(mustard and ketchup only), hand-cut fries, and milkshakes(one chocolate and one strawberry).

Our little black cat has really never been by himself for any length of time. When we were gone before, both cats stayed home together. We had to leave him alone in the motor home for two days while we were moving the furniture. He did okay–he didn’t miss the litter box or scratch anything to death, but he was definitely lonely. He has been very cuddly for awhile now, but he has been all over us since we have been back.
We spent last night and all day today recovering from the move. I had a bunch of television TiVo’d, and Kevin needed his World of Warcraft fix. Maybe tomorrow we will get something done…

When we moved to Seattle, we went through all of our stuff. We sold some, stored some at our parents’ houses, and squeezed the rest into the motorhome. We decided to leave the furniture in the house so it didn’t look so vacant while we were trying to sell it. Now that it is getting towards winter, we needed to take care of the furniture, even though the house has not sold. We did not want to have to drive a U-Haul truck in the snow. So we got a truck on Friday and packed in all of our furniture and drove down to Portland, where my parents live. We were able to put the living room and bedroom furniture at my Mom’s, and the dining room furniture went to a consignment shop to get sold. It was a ton of work (thanks Dad, Adam, Sharon, Kevin, and Joe for your help), but we really couldn’t put it off any longer, and we are happy that it is finally moved and we won’t have to deal with it again. When the house does finally sell, we won’t have to do anything but sign papers and hand over the keys!!

We decided to take a trip to Trader Joes in Lynwood. Wenatchee does not have a Trader Joes, so this is a first for us. We looked around and bought a few small things–mustard, horseradish, bean dip, bread, tarter sauce–a few “necesseties” that we did not have. They also sell bagged fresh pizza dough in the refrigerator case. Of course we had to try that. it would have made a fairly nice pizza if we had remembered to grease the pizza pan!!
Since we were so close, we also decided to stop at the Costco Business Center in Lynwood. Although it is a small-sized Costco, and they cater more towards business owners’ needs, we still managed to spend $94 on food and supplies(yes, Mom, I got your canned chicken)–nearly 1/4 of our monthly food budget. Of course it was all stuff that we HAD to have–huge cookies, ham steaks, 5 pounds of breaded chicken for our deep fryer… I guess we will have to economize for the rest of the month!!

We haven’t posted in a while, because nothing much has happened. We did get Kevin’s truck sold–to the second person who came to look at it. And we decided to list the house with a realtor. We had three open houses three weeks in a row, and did not get any offers, so we decided a realtor was the best bet. Hopefully it will sell fastly!!
Our black cat has gotten comfortable with climbing up the tree near the coach and spending time on the roof. It seems like a safe sleeping spot for a cat, but the getting up and down is a little scary!!
