Up at 6-climb down from loft. Walk around-meet Connie working in cute yard-says it’s getting harder to keep it up-husband Jerry pulling weeds-has loss of memory. Go back for Wilson & Sparky. Have memorial metal statue of IWO JIMA-brother was there-going to donate it to school when they pass-touched by meeting them. Scenery is beautiful-stop at Dry Falls-meet Russ & Roxie-in trunk w/ hurt paw from hike yesterday. Wife from Germany-told him we were just there. Lunch at GINKGO PETRIFIED FOREST ST PARK-no trees-just rocks (expected to see forest)-sometimes no smarter than a rock. Make lunch-big horn sheep walk by.

Sunnyside RV-hotter here than Austin-go to office-meet Martin & dogs. Wife worked for police dept-became disabled-sold everything-lived in RV for 10 yrs & bought RV camp. Her artistic talents are everywhere-very impressive. All go to pool-then go to 6,000 sq ft office-much cooler-Armand plays pool. I try to post pictures-can’t do it.😢😢😢 Dinner. Around 7 drive to TOPPENISH-Town of murals-don’t know where to start-unbelievable-have to see it to appreciate it. Back to RV-climb ladder to our knew home.
