Yes I am still alive and kicking. We made it out of California to Moses Lake without breaking down, that's a plus. I spent the summer work camping at Pier 4, which let me spend time with the in-laws, get Jenna moved to Cheney for college, visit with Wade and friends at Bonner General and have doctor's appointments and had a nice visit with my Uncle Mike and Aunt Rae. For the uninitiated work camping means you work at the campground/RV park in exchange for space rent/utilities. I did earn the minimum wage. It actually was a great experience, though you have to ask your self this: why would a licensed, college educated health care professional want to spend the summer scrubbing bathrooms??? Well, I found myself wondering the same thing, but it was perfectly mindless work and great exercise, I could go to work in shorts and sandals without caring about what my hair looked like. I was done in time to watch the Price is Right, how many years have I stood in patient's rooms trying to sneak a glimpse at the Price is Right? It haunts me still. (smile) Stay tuned!
