• The End of Our Journey

  It is hard to believe that three weeks have passed since we returned from Washington. The first week I spent catching up with work at school.  The second week I was sick most of the time as was many of our students. This past week I dealt with hormone-crazy junior high kids overdosed on sugar and Valentine’s Day. This evening I look forward to a quiet weekend.

  So here is the how our journey worked out. On Sunday, there was little we could do about finding a house so we went sightseeing to Bellingham.  Everything is GREEN!  Seriously!  I was amazed

  
  

  We spent three days looking for a place to live before we found the
  perfect spot. We didn’t know if we would get it for another day though.  In
  the meantime, Nick scoured the car ads.  The second morning he announced,
  “I’ve found Celina’s car,” and called the number on the ad.  It did
  turn out to be the perfect car, but, as often happens, we ran into
  trouble getting the loan paperwork together.  With no access to a
  private computer, we spent hours in the public library trying to download the
  forms.  In the end, the title was mailed to Texas instead of given to
  us.  We are still trying to get the papers back up there.  The car is
  hers though.

  

  

  All was finished in time for one day of fun before heading back.  Breakfast in a delightful cafe on the main street of  picturesque La Conner.  Afterwards we walked along the dock and got pictures of the “rainbow bridge” that La Conner is famous for.
