Carol and I have had a good few days since getting here to Bellingham.
I
was not feeling all together great for one of the days but better the
next. I think that my tummy did not appreciate the finer aspects of
BBQ'd Chicken. It all went down all right but it all came back for a
revisit several times all night. So much for spicy food !!.
We have been fooling around looking at lots of stuff including housing
here. What a shocker -- tiny little houses that are 30 - 40 years old
plunked on a postage stamp lot are selling in the high $300"s to mid
400K. No way on earth would I consider any of those houses. So we
stepped up to modern homes on small lots and the price went to $600+++.
I guess there is a lot of cash floating around here finding its way
down
from Canada with the Canadian dollar advancing against the US dollar so
strongly.
Bellingham is wonderful but just too expensive for us considering what
you really get in these homes.
We will probably leave here on Monday depending on every ones schedule.
I still have plenty of time to get home and get all the tests done for
my
surgery on the 29th. Since I can see a definite change in my condition
I
may have to have the surgery sooner. Although I do not see that a few
days will make any real difference. [A few more nights like the other
night could change my mind quickly.]
I have included a few pictures -- I snapped one of Anna and Carol when
they were laughing as we were leaving to go "Junking" "Pals" is good
word for them. I also have attached a couple of Deer pictures. We
were
going out to get into the Van when this deer came walking ever so
gently
through Anna's yard, past us and onto the lot across the street.
Finally, we saw some GIANT Artichokes at a fresh veggie market
yesterday.
So we got three and had them for dinner tonight with Anna. Anna never
had artichokes before she met us so we always try to have them once
when
we visit. These were simply giant in size. The picture is not too
clear
but each one was almost as big as a regular dinner plate. They were
sooooooooo good.
So that is it for tonight Tomorrow is Sat. so Carol and Anna will be
up
and out of here by 6:30 A.M. -- Junking. I always such a kick out of
that as Carol always finds treasures that simply must come home for
someone. Have a good weekend -- we will try to do the same.
Best to all of you ................. Frank & Carol B. Click here to see the pictures. |
