We spent today in 3 different states: Washington, Idaho, and Montana. We planned a shorter day of driving, which was good because we were going through the Rockies today. Temperatures were still warm, probably in the upper 70s or low 80s.

Mark and I had breakfast with Mom at Shari’s this morning and then we headed off for the rest of our trip. Temperatures got into the 80s today!

Mark suggested I spend my last night here at Mom’s house. If my pictures look different from usual, it’s because I can’t get into the internet on my laptop to use my usual editing program so I’m using one that comes with Mom’s computer.

Around 10:00, he tried again, but the right staff member wasn’t in there to take the payment, so someone else told him to just leave his card information.

Last time, I left you with an image of our pantry and food all over the floor. Mark worked hard to rebuild it.

Tax season ends tomorrow, the 18th, and we have been talking about leaving to head to Oregon on the 19th, but we always anticipate that something is going to delay our best-laid plans.
