We got up and left Bellingham for Lake Chelan for our annual May trip. Gail has developed a cough that we aren’t sure is the beginning of a cold. The drive was cloudy and wet until we reached Leavenworth. By the time we got to Chelan it was quite sunny. Later in the day my sister Terry arrived. We had dinner and sat around the fire through the evening.
We spent four nights here with the weather getting worse as the week went on. The days weren’t bad but the wind came up every afternoon until by Friday it was forecast to blow 30+ mph.
We had a great time in Chelan visiting friends we made at the park and various wineries. On Friday when we left we stopped in Quincy to visit our nephew, Kaleb who is working at the Grant County Fire Dept. He is having a great time studying to become a fire fighter. Then it was off to Prosser for the Memorial Day weekend.
We got checked into Wine Country RV Park at about 1 and watched as the park filled for the weekend. It seems there are more families and dogs here than ever before. We talked to Lou Ann, the manager and she agreed.
We did the usual things during our four night visit here. We found a new winery that just opened on May 7, Wit Cellars. The wine maker and his crew from another winery started Wit about 9 months ago and released their first wines at their opening. They have done a terrific job making high quality wines.
On Monday, May 30 I was relaxing at the pool when Gail came over and said she was having trouble breathing so we went to the ER at Prosser Hospital. After lots of tests and an x-ray they told us she had a little pneumonia in her left lung. They gave her five days of a very strong antibiotic to fight it off. The antibiotic is so strong it makes her nauseous.
We went home Tuesday, May 31 for what we hoped was just to repack and head out to Utah.
