Day two of our drive to Seattle. We've had wonderful driving weather. The roads have been clear and the traffic light overall. We stopped at Hinton Sunday night & will stay in Chilliwack tonight. Halleluia for high-speed internet.
The drives have been long. There appears to be a Tim free zone between Hinton and Kamloops for anyone looking for a franchise opportunity. You can't pick up radio very well through the mountains, and I'm a CBC radio gal, so we've had to resort to other diversions. We discovered that together we know all the words to the old A&W theme song (...hop in the car. Come as you are, to A&W) We read the information package from the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. We learned how to select a healthy hamster (teeth that have grown past the chin or a dirty hind end spell trouble...)
We really feel the presence of family & friends on the journey. We listened to the Debauchery Castle soundtrack composed by Eric's good friend, Graham Pritchard. We stopped for coffee & used our Tim's card. (Thanks Jennifer.) We carefully organized receipts for gas & meals in 'the Kelly'. Need a cup of tea in the evening? Ruth sent an assortment. Feeling far from home? We've read messages from my sister in Yorkton, Arnie's brother in Dubai, my friend Susan, currently in Africa and David & Sandra in Seattle.
We should reach Seattle tomorrow. The next stage of the journey awaits us.
Take care
Brenda & Arnie
