away for a night

Michelle in response to your comment we did not go as far as Seattle. I am afraid to go too far into the state in case I fall sick and need to maek a run for the border LOL. Sounds like a robber baron doesn't it. It was an impulsive action. Next time I will let you know. However we don't go there very often. Maybe you might come up to Vancouver some day, that would be fun.
We are back home now and getting back to normal. Whatever that is Haha.
We stayed at the Silver Reef hotel last night on the sixth floor. We discovered that the 6th floor has a special status. In order to get there you need a card that fits into a slot in the elevator, no other way to get there. We thought we were special LOL. Put the card into the slot and then press the sixth floor. No card no entry.
The room wasn't something special though just an ordinary room with a king sized bed.
We started Friday at the Skagit , drove there as it was too early to book into our room. We had a good time there and were fairly successful. We had our lunch at the buffet. So many buffets in casinos. Ray and I often just ask for a menu to get away from buffets. But we had a nice early weekend and a good night's sleep.
I asked Ray if he was tired, of course he was , he said his fingers were exhausted from doing the two finger two step. He is so funny.

So my visits to the states are often few and far between but my friend Sharon just called and asked if I wanted to go to the states to see some quilt shops. We are going on Feb 8th at 8:00 in the morning.
My mind has become a blank, I'll wait a while and see if it recovers. Don't you think a mind is like a computer which stops and takes minutes to regain its strength. I need props to think.

It rained all weekend. As we were coming over the mountain the rain turned to snow. Fortunately as I have told you I love the rain, snow not so much LOL.
