Well, the news is Chima has been evicted by the PRODUCERS! Hey, couldn't happen to a more annoying immature person. I am dying to hear what house rules she broke to get herself kicked.
AND I was delighted to see Jessie the narcissist go home finally!
In other news, my trip to Mt Rainier: Ah yes, well that was the most misrepresented thing in recent memory. Kind of like Sarah Palin. All talk and no substance.
This was billed as a train ride to Mt Rainier. What it was? A BUS ride to the small town of Mineral, before you ever get to Mt Rainier. Then a ride on a very old clunker of a train going 15 mph and a Bar BQ. Uh huh. The train went into the woods by trees and more trees and a stream appeared now and then, and then it went backward to where we started. Never got within shouting distance of Mt Rainier. Never saw it. There was total cloud cover so not a chance of seeing it anyway but we didn't go to Paradise or Sunset or anywhere on the mountain. I have been there many times, camping, hiking and just driving around and there are gorgeous vistas and lakes to be seen. I was truly looking forward to a "train ride to Mt Rainier."
Well, everyone I talked to was heartily disappointed and felt, as I did, that our day could have been better spent. We were supposed to be home by 7:30pm but we were home after 9:30pm exhausted. It seems no allowance was made for loading and unloading 80 or so seniors with various disabilities, 8 walkers and one wheel chair and an oxygen tank on wheels (I counted them). See photo.
We did stop at a small church in Elbe with a nice history. A wedding had just happened and all were coming out of the church.
We did see some pretty trees.
I swear I am just not THAT old. I feel I don't belong in this crowd. Not yet and hopefully never. I did meet a nice lady who went with me to the first outing to Frost/Nixon play at the Paramount which I truly enjoyed. We decided we would go today to the Taste of Edmonds. But she called this morning and said she was not prepared to leave her apt, still recovering from yesterday. I am determined to do something fun today.
