Hi everyone!

Yes I am still alive. I will be back this coming week. Here it is 59 degrees today, no snow. I was on the Washington coast for a couple of days and oh the spring flowers are in bloom. Even the wild cherry trees were all pink. Was a beautiful trip. I went over on Stevens Pass and it snowed on me coming and going but only briefly. On the coast I got to experience driving on the ole freeways again, upto 4-5 lanes and going 70 mph. Boy it tests your ole driving skills. Went upto Tulalip Casino and played a little, a very pretty place. Did a lot of shopping in the outlet stores and malls. Our shopping is a little limited in our community so is quite a treat to go to the big city. My plans were changed a little so didn't go to Las Vegas this time.
