Bill & Thelma

Hmm, where to start with this story. Oh, as you may recall from my winter posts Bill and Thelma parked next to us last year in Yuma, Arizona. Ah, long story just got shorter. They are from Kincardine, Ontario, Canada, which is on Lake Huron, and that's a long way from Washington. They took a trip to Alaska this summer and decided that on their way home they wanted to see Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore. So it was perfect for them to stop by Washington and see us. We happened to to be at the Cowlitz when they came through so they were able to have a few days rest there before taking off again. It would have been great if they could have stayed longer, but Bill took one look at the map and saw how far they still had to go and decided they better hit the road. I guess I should be thankful for the time we had with them. They were planning on staying a couple days, but they loved it at the river and stayed almost a week. It was soooooo fun to see them again.
 Bill is not a fisherman. In fact, he doesn't even like the water, so he did not go out in the boat with the boys. However, he sure looks good holding this fish. A little bit of the fishing spirit must have rubbed off on him. At least while he was in Washington.
