A Columbia River Outing.....

    On Tuesday, a friend invited me to join her while she babysat her 2 grandchildren.  It was a beautiful, sunny day here in Vancouver, WA.  She was going to a location called Frenchman's Bar along the Columbia River.  It is across town from where I live, but I am familiar with the main road to there.  It was my first adventure alone that far away.

     After an afternoon of sun and cool breezes I was refreshed when I returned home.  

Granddaughter, Angie, came by to treat me to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory restaurant. 

 

       This has been a good Columbia River Outing day in the life of Grandma G.
