I drove Debbie to the Spokane airport so she could catch her 11:30 flight to Chicago. She met up with Misty at O'Hare and together they motored north to Roscoe, IL where a weekend family get together is happening, giving Misty more time to get acquainted with her half siblings, cousins, Aunt Debbie, and whoever else might arrive.
2. Last night, I downloaded the Spokane Tribe Casino app on my cell phone and, as a reward, the casino comped me 20 bucks of free play on the machines. I figured as long as I was just a hop, skip, and a jump from the casino, I'd hop over, have a latte and banana bread, play the money I was comped, and play with a little of my own. After less than an hour of play, I was ahead a modest amount and decided to head to Spokane. It was a short and very enjoyable session.
I beelined straight to the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture where last Saturday an exhibition entitled, "The Davenport Legacy" opened. It's a two gallery show examining the history and the elegance of the Davenport Hotel. It's a graceful exhibition, providing pictures, artifacts, and information about the history of the hotel and the architectural vision that inspired its construction. It also delves into the restoration project that took place about twenty-five years ago.
I look forward to reading more about the Davenport Hotel in the exhibition book I purchased and will definitely return to this wonderful show.
I also want to go back to the exhibition entitled, "Preston Singletary: Raven and the Box of Daylight" before it closes on January 4th. Debbie and I immersed ourselves in it a few weeks ago. Today, though, time traveling back to turn of the century Spokane and taking in the significance of the Davenport was all I had the energy for.
3. I stopped in CdA to go in search of pear juice.
Christy wants some for the cocktail she's making for family dinner on Sunday. I bought grocery supplies at both Pilgrim's and Trader Joe's, but neither story had pear juice. Then I buzzed up to Safeway. No luck.
Then I had a bright idea. Doesn't Fred Meyer have EVERYTHING?
Well, it may not have EVERYTHING, but the store on Kathleen carries pear juice and so I completed Christy's request and headed back home to get a few things done and keep Gibbs and Copper company after they'd been alone all day.
