1. After a fun breakfast at Traditions in the Wildhorse casino and after I tangled one last time with the Money Honey machine with some success, we bid Mike and Terry farewell and Ed, Jake, and I piled into Jake's truck and hit the road.
2. As we often do, Ed, Jake, and I stopped at Country Mercantile just outside Pasco and I bought some black licorice and and milk chocolate covered almonds.
3. At around 2:45, we arrived back at Jake's and Carol Lee's. Debbie, Diane, and Nancy were already there, having a party with Carol Lee, and Ed, Jake, and I joined in. Carol Lee had prepared a superb spread of appetizers and, later on, the clam chowder and beef stew she cooked were ready and we dove into that for dinner. We all gathered on the balcony-like porch at Carol Lee and Jake's place at Rose Lake, overlooking the placid waters of Rose Lake and enjoying the moderate heat of the Jacobs' outdoor heater. We all gabbed, made plans for the future, told stories, laughed, ate, and enjoyed each other until early in the evening. For me, this comfortable, nourishing, and fun party was the perfect way to cap off a great getaway and return.
