Long Weekend!

Friday night, The Colonel, Shadow, Gladys and I headed off in the land yacht for a delightful mini-vacation! We spent two nights at Long Beach, and then headed over to Mt. Saint Helens for a brief repast before heading back to Seattle.

Shadow was his usual dependable self, but Gladys was - as Gladys always is - prone to hysteria and separation anxiety. I'm not sure that she'll be joining us on future trips. (We're hoping to do a tour of City Light's dams next month, and perhaps a stately jaunt up the Columbia River Gorge in September)

I should have taken more pictures, but you know how that goes. All I can say is that Sunset cocktails from our improvised lanai at Mt Saint Helens were simply divine!

I am completely digging your blog. I have a question for you.

I, too, collect retro/vintage stuff. I've got the Farberware Open Hearth grill and shish-kebob set.

My question. Do you use the little crank thing on the end of the shish-kebob bracket to turn the kebobs, or do you somehow connect that little crank thing to the motor?

I also love you kitchen aid mixer. Why can't I ever find stuff like that in Mississippi.

*pout*

I don't have a blog, but if you have a moment to email me, my addy is lakeforgetful (at) gmail dot com.

I've added your blog to my favorites, because it's very entertaining to read.
