Whoa there...I'm still here

It's very interesting! I quit posting to the blog and people think I might be sick...must be one of those old-age things. When I was young, everyone thought if they didn't hear from me that meant the Keys' were off on some adventure and would turn up somewhere, sometime and tell everyone about it. Now, it's a question of "maybe she fell and can't get up." Note I did not include Lefty in any of the expectations of any type of communication...when is the last time he wrote or called? It's just something missing from his DNA. Anyhow, I had decided to slow down and cut my work hours...Ha! You know the saying "Be careful what you wish for?"  Well, cutting my work hours kind of worked in reverse.  I no longer work 8 hours a day...I now work over 8 hours a day. Taking that into consideration along with summer construction/repair going on around our home and community obligations to attend to along with summer social activities (let's not forget them) I have very little time. But, today, I decided to blow off the laundry that is waiting for me, and post away!  

To those of you who have known us forever, you probably remember Randi, our friend from Colorado. Back in the 70's (1972 to be precise) we picked up Randi in Colorado, hitch hiking home from a Dead concert, and she took us to her home for the night. She has remained in our lives since then in some form or another. Randi emailed saying she was going to be in Spokane to visit her new grandson and should we be in the "neighborhood," drop on by. Well, it coincided with Steve's and my four day foray into eastern WA and we were able to hook up with Randi, her ex Ron, and her daughter, Tara, and brand new baby, Danny Danger (I hope that's right.)  Some things never change and one of those is Randi. Take away a couple of health issues and you could look at her and time-travel back to 1972. Hey, Randi!

We've planned our November trip to TS. It's a short one, November 6 - 16, but so very necessary. It will keep us sane until our 2009 winter trip....hopefully!

More shall be revealed....love to all
