Back Up Next

-         We drop off the bus - “are we any closer to finishing?”- and take Chris’ shop van with the Frybrid tattoos all over it. It’s an ancient VW bus with a very loose stick shift. Chris insists that we take his van, although I am still feeling bad about the stolen Suburban and would rather not tempt fate with yet another borrowed car…there is no talking him out of it!

-         The funny part is that he washes it before he lets us take it out J What a guy! He scrubs it and sprays it and even turns it around to what the back…it’s amazing…

-         Uwajamaya is so much fun. All it is is a grocery store, except it has every single Asian vegetable, fish, noodle, spice, etc. I can imagine. I stock up on Sushi accoutrements and even buy a Wok! We end up spending about $200 and all Steve wants are a few funky juices…

-         Steve actually leaves to go back to Chris’ shop to work out some problems and takes Jonah with him. The girls end up spending about 3 hours at this place and that didn’t even seem so long…

-         When Steve comes back, finally, he tells me that Chris was going crazy because he couldn’t get in touch with Stefanie. She was supposed to meet us for lunch we hadn’t been able to get in touch with her either. He was on his way to their house when she finally called him to say that she’d just fallen asleep…

-         At night we stay at the RV park in Everett to hook up and dump and chill out…I make an easy dinner, do some laundry, mop, before settling down to watch a movie about a woman who finds out she is an adopted native American…we all want to see the end and so again it becomes a late night
