Run to the Ranch(s)

[Beckie J Daniels]

Hi everyone!
Major kudos to Day's and Tate's, and their helpers, for their wonderful
hospitality this weekend!!  Saturday activities included a tech session
by Steve Day, tour to the Wenatchee burn area NW of town, wine tasting at
Chateau Faire La Pont Winery, chicken dinner, and birthday cake for Walt
Harrison.  Sunday brought a trip to the Tate's in Yakima via Blewett Pass
and the Ellensburg Canyon.  After parking on Tate's back lawn amidst some
of their other collector cars, we enjoyed tours of Steve T's body and
paint shop.  More fabulous food included pulled pork sandwiches and ice
cream in honor of Austin-Healey's National Ice Cream Social Day.  Burp! 
I noticed a can of "Fast Reducer" in Tate's shop....does it work on
humans?!

Phil and I have continued in an eastward direction and are in Othello
tonight.  The first time I've EVER seen a recliner chair in a hotel room!
 Phil is occupying it watching TV, while I did the laundry and ironing! 
And of course posted more photos!!  I'm glad you're all enjoying them. 
Remember to click on them to make them large enough to see!  We've been
gone long enough now that I have to look back a day to see what day we're
on!

I hope everyone made it home without trouble.  See you in Silverdale!
