Monday, May 4th
We have been enjoying our time here on Bainbridge Island, WA. So good to see Cheryl, David, Josh and Ben again. Arrived last Thursday evening.
On Friday, David went to work and Josh to school. Cheryl took us on a tour of the local area. They center around the town of Winslow. Jim and I were to stay with the boys on Saturday while Cheryl and David took a long run (17 mi.). Those plans turned upside down when Cheryl had a kidney stone attack during the night. After lots of pain, lots of time at the hospital, and lots of meds the stone passed on Sunday night.
On Sunday, David took us for some more touring. Went to the town of Poulsbo and Sluy's Bakery. Great place. Josh had something called a Viking Donut. Big, big chocolate covered raised donut. He has been known to eat two of them. After the boys ran off some of the sugar in the park we loaded up and moved on to Port Gamble, an old mill town. This is where I found a yarn shop. Owned by a woman who dyes and spins her own yarns. Wonderful place. Of course I purchased something!
It's Monday and things are getting back to normal. Cheryl feeling much better although still a bit wobbly from all the meds. The sun came out and we decided it was time to get outside. Took a walk to the local store -- Rolling Bay Hay & Feed -- one of those great places that have a bit of everything. Ben got a cookie from the coffee shop and we continued on. Spring is in full bloom around here. Got some wonderful pics of all the flowers. Go take a look over on FB.
Tomorrow we are off to Seattle, Pike's market and lunch.
