The friend I am visiting is a childhood friend from when I grew up in Peru, South America. She actually was in my older sisters class. I haven’t seen her in over 40+ years! But there is a bond between all us “Yarina-ites” and we had gotten re-acquainted on Facebook a few years back and she invited me to stop by and see her and stay overnight with them. So yesterday I got to her house in the afternoon and met her grandson that they are raising, and her husband and we went out for supper downtown. It was so nice to park my vehicle and T@b and sleep inside!
In the morning, just Naomi and I drove off to see Snoqualmie Falls and have breakfast at the lodge there.
I was planning to leave right after that, but when we got back to her house, my vehicle would not start!!! Uh-oh. What to do? Her hubby did not have jumper cables. So I called my insurance, Geico. They got the car started and then recommended that I get the battery checked.
So I said my goodbyes and made my way to the center of town, where I found a place to have the battery looked at. They checked both it and the alternator and found they were fine. They made sure the battery was fully charged and I was on my way again. [P.S. I had it checked again when I got home again and there’s nothing wrong with it. It did not get damaged by being drained.]
Today I was going to Cour d’Alene, Idaho to visit my cousins daughter Robyn and family. I’ve never met them before; only chatted on Facebook. I haven’t even see my cousin since 1977. So this was going to be momentous.
The trip today took me about 5 hours east ( 312 miles) on I-90.
