Trisha came up for her first visit to see her only sister here in Colville this last week.
Just by coincidence, Trisha's flight into Spokane was on her "29th" birthday. So we put up some happy birthday flags over the doorway to surprise her.
I didn't take very long for Trisha to get into the "Northeast Washington Groove" that Donna and I have grown accustomed to!
The weather cooperated with Trisha's visit...mid-70 degree days and cool nights, unlike the last three cool days and over an inch of gentle rain.
I found it interesting listening to the girls talk about childhood remembrances.
Donna and I, both being excellent hosts, had Trisha cook her world famous lemon meringue pie for her own birthday, haha! The girls both did the deed. A while back Trisha asked me what she could cook...to give me a break in the kitchen...of course her meringue pie came to mind. They were worried about our altitude disrupting the baking process, but I assured them that we are less than 2500 feet.
It tasted as wonderful as it was beautiful.
We gave Trisha a tour of some of our surrounding little towns. This one is Onion Creek, Washington...no really, this IS the whole town. Grocery store, hardware store, town library, gas station, post office, restaurant and community park all wrapped up into this building.
We went to Onion Creek mainly because on the weekend the store has an outdoor slow cooker that produces some very good "pulled pork" sandwiches. The ride and surrounding beauty of the area more than made up for the measly amount of BBQ sauce supplied. They were very good about my request for more, so no biggie.
The next day Donna and Trisha took off for Crystal Falls, not far from the house. I asked Donna "where's your sisters picture"?
They forgot of course to take one of our special visitor, Donna is such a camera hog! ☺
Trisha left the next day but we hope to visit her in Sacramento this winter or next spring.
