Bob Willetts, the door knob fairy, came to the Dearing early this morning. Our door into the Deering from the Berlin first had no door knob and we put our fingers in the holes to open it. Then we got a plastic electrical tie to pull on for a couple of days. Having a knob this morning was really nice! AAPRCO meetings started today. Talked to Bob Owens from Omaha about his Suits Me car and his proposed facility to house cars. Also, Mike Anderson from the Northern Sky who battled a flesh eating bacteria on his leg since February but is recovering. Mark and Debbie and Rick and I walked over to the Urban Stack hamburger joint which served locally sourced foods-they had just started serving Lucky Bucket beer from LaVista, Nebraska. I had a New Mexico Green Chili Burger and Rick a Hercules which was made with Lamb. Debbie and I took the electric shuttle to the south side of the Tennessee River and then another one to the north side of the Tennessee River to go shopping. Went to a tie dye place and couldn't find a single thing I wanted to buy. There were a lot of little shops, used book store with funky art and jewelry, a hand crafted jewelry place with everything under lock and key with no prices, and a Go Fish store where I bought a bracelet for Lyn back at work. Took a partial walk across the walkway across the river to take a picture, then caught the bus back. I found my lost camera beside my bed - it had slipped down while I was taking a nap yesterday. VERY glad to find it. First car party was tonight starting with drinks on the Puget Sound and ending up with desserts on the City of Spokane. Talked to Dave and Judy Rohr from California. She is a retired librarian - they just learned that they had a flood in their house but their daughter is home to deal with the damage. They had just renovated their home this summer and they had a bathroom sink pipe break. Came back to the Deering and they had a surprise birthday cake for Debbie's birthday. Happy Birthday, Debbie! She told a joke about where jewelry comes from. Nelson reminded her of that line ---the one she always crosses!
