A SMALL DIVERSION

Near the end of September, Bob and I went to The Dalles to attend the 55th reunion of the high school class of 1956. We had been planning on participating in both nights’ activities, but the air conditioning in the RV quit on us and we were having some very hot days. We didn’t drive to The Dalles until Saturday, the 24th, for the evening’s festivities at a local winery.

We enjoyed the visiting, appetizers, and wine; but the taking of the class photo is always a big production! Afterwards, those interested in continuing the same activities, gathered at a classmates house up on the bluff. The Dalles Dam at night was quite pretty with the lights reflected in the river.

We managed to sleep without air conditioning in the RV as it was parked on the side of the road in front of the classmate’s house.

Sunday morning activity was enjoying a very filling breakfast at Cousin’s restaurant. Then we had the long drive home. Fortunately, it had clouded over so it wasn’t so hot.
