MANITOU LIGHTS

WEDNESDAY
December 18 2013

This is hubby's "Friday" his last day of the work week because he has Thurs & Fri for vacation.

I got up and made breakfast & latte for hubby. Dogs got their omelette & pills. Hubby took some dog grog chicken for lunch. He also took the bag of treats for CN Diesel.

After he was gone, I did dishes, did laundry, cleaned dog water, fed the fish. It was cold this morning. Only 29F degrees when we got up, so I turned up the heat.

Hubby rushed home after work by 4:30 and got changed. We headed over to Spokane to see the lights at Manitou Gardens with the kids. They were to meet us there.

On the way, KRN texted and said they had not brought the keys for the espresso stand. So we had to find a place on the South Hill that sold lattes for hubby. We ended up paying $5 for a 20 ounce drink. Hubby tipped the girl $10.

I had brought sausage roll-ups along with us. KRN ate those, she was hungry. She had not brought the vegetable soup she promised as she could not find anything to put it in.

Lots of people (several drunks & people reeking of cigarette smoke) were there. Several rude families that brought screeching nasty little kids. We are NOT going to Manitou next year.

Two cars with drivers that were too LAZY to even pull into the parking lot were blocking the driveway. Stupid people abound during the holidays.

We talked to the kids briefly in the parking lot, then left to go back home. We picked up burgers on the way home for the dogs. They were happy to see us again.
