We're In Bend!!

We stayed at Pocatello, ID for a couple of days, mostly just to rest between the miles.  While we were there, our refrigerator died.  At around 3 am on the 14^th, I heard the refrigerator beeping.  I went to see if maybe we’d lost power, but saw that it was giving an error message.  I tried turning it off then back on to no avail.  Later that day we started smelling ammonia.  We knew that this was the death knoll for working part of our refrigerator.  We called Big Country RV to arranged to have it looked at once we got to Bend but they couldn’t fit us in until the middle of September.  So, I ended up calling Accurate RV Mobile Service in Bend.  They took all our information and asked us to call as soon as we got to the Bend/Sisters Garden RV Resort (formerly the KOA next to the rodeo grounds) and let them know our site number.  Billy showed up at the time he said he would on Wednesday.  He took all our information and told us he should know something in a few days.  The next morning he called to say all the warranty papers had been approved by Good Sam and they should have the rebuild parts next Monday.  He scheduled our repair for next Tuesday.  I would highly recommend Accurate RV Mobile service for anyone needing work on their RV.  So far we have been very pleased.

In the meantime, we had a great time visiting Mike’s son and his family in Boise for 3 days.  We hadn’t previously known about the Freak Alley in Boise.  This alley gives people an opportunity where they  can legally paint graffiti on the walls. We also got to see for the first time Todd’s office.

We are off to a jump start in visiting with Bend friends.  The afternoon we arrived in Bend I got a call from my good friend, Mindy.  She asked me if I knew that Mike Wurtz, one of my former co-workers, had taken a new job.  I said no.  She told me there was a group gathering to congratulate him and wanted to know if Mike and I would like to go.  Of course we said yes.  It was fun to walk into Mavericks and see the look of shock on everyone’s faces since no one knew we were in town. 

We also got to surprise our former Sundance neighbors, Larry and Terry Scott, by stopping by their business, B&D Glass.  We had a really good chat and plan to get together for lunch or dinner. 

Yesterday morning we decided to take a walk along the river and ran into another former co-worker, Valerie Beese.  She was so surprised to see us.  I’m sure we’ll be getting together as well!

We will be here until September 30th so our plans here will be full of catching up with friends.

Until later and until we have more news, we wish our friends and family well!
