DAY 19: Kelso, WA: So What Do You Do On A Rainy Day In The RV?

Friday, June 19: Kelso, Washington

So, what do you do on a rainy day in the RV?   You go to the Mall, of course!  

Yep, we woke up to rain this morning.  The slow-steady-nice-hate to-get-out-of-bed kind of rain..........but we finally did and Chuck made his famous belgium waffles and I got some book work done for C & E and JC Sound.   But when your only means of transportation outside the RV is a motorcycle, rain does limit you a bit.  So, I started taking pictures of the inside of the RV; then pictures of Chuck in the RV; Murphy in the RV; then the rain through the window of the RV.   

Here's a little known fact about Chuck; when he's bored, he turns into Gladys Kravitiz.  You remember her; from Bewitched. She was the nosy neighbor who knew what all the neighbors were doing and where they were all going.  Well, Chuck's forehead was pressed up again the dining room window each time an RV went by and he wanted to know who the manufacturer was, how long it was, how many tires it had, etc......It was pretty comical......don't tell him I told you this little known fact about him.......

The rain finally slowed up and we were able to get out and about this afternoon and headed to the mall.  Not much of a mall here in Kelso, but hey, it's better than what we have back home....which is nothing.....so, we made the most of it.  We both got new shoes at Payless and Chuck made a new friend at the mall.  His name is Larry.  Larry and Chuck met at the pretzel counter and Chuck brought him back to the table with him.   Larry was a local and filled him with tons of information on the area (which we could have used prior to the day before we leave).....anyway, Larry was a pretty nice guy.  His wife finally called & said her nails were done, so he needed to leave.  

We made it back to the RV from the mall and met our next door neighbors, Pat & Lee, who were full-timers.  In RV talk, that means that they travel all year long in their RV.  They were awesome!  We learned more in one hour from them than the two years of Motorhome Magazine, Good Sam and RV Forum put together.  They were super people and we look forward to getting to know them even better in the future.

So, there's our last day in Kelso, Washington.  Tomorrow we head to the Oregon coast which we hear is some of the most beautiful scenery we'll see.  We also hope to see our dear friends, Travis and Jacquetta for a nice lunch.   BTW, to our Texas friends reading this, the high temperature today was 56 degrees......sorry to hear you're having 100 degree days......really, really sorry to hear that......(hee hee hee)....we'll be home in October.

See ya tomorrow!
