Annual Klamath Falls Cruise
Last evening my hubby and I went first to dinner at our favorite Mexican Restaurant, El Palacio. After stuffing ourselves and finishing off a couple of blackberry marquritas, we mosed out onto the sidewalk to watch the annual Klamath Falls Cruise. There was at least one hundred this year compared to the last couple of years. It has really grown and was a delight to watch. Here are some of what we saw. You'll probably find one in there you owned at one time or another. We always do and love reminising about the times.
You can see there were lots of people all up and down the sidewalks watching the show. Out at Moore park earlier is where the Show and Shine started and there were over two hundred cars lined up so you could walk around the cars and look inside and drool to your hearts desire. We were not able to make the show but at least got to see some of these beauties as they cruised down the street.

Farm Chick road trip
As many of you know there was the Farm Chicks Annual Antique Show in Spokane, WA on the 4th and 5th this past weekend. This was my first year attending and my daughter and daughter-in-law went with me. Although it was a long drive, we planned ahead to have a day before the show to go thrifting and antiqueing around the town.
We stayed at the Pheasant Hill Inn near downtown Spokane, and it was only a ten minute drive to the fairgrounds where the show was being held. We had the pool and sauna where we enjoyed relaxing after a full day of shopping.
I would wake the girls very early so we could enjoy a nice breakfast at the motel and then it was off to stand in line for about an hour and a half. We talked with many other farmgirls and discussed what each was looking for. Some had come the years past with their husbands but decided this was a girls playground this time out.
Once the gates were finally opened, it was a mad rush to see all the treasures inside. I did manage to find a few things from the show, but for the most part, it was pretty overwhelming to say the least. After four hours of walking around trying to see the different booths, we called it a day.
We went to see The Wolf People and took the tour to see all the wolves and hold a couple of the babies. They also had a nice gift shop where we could pick up a few souveniers.
When we arrived at their home in the hills, we were pleasantly seranaded with the howls of all the wolves. It was music to my ears.
This is what he gets to do on a daily basis. They think of him as dad. He has his hands full with all that he does to keep these wolves fed and healthy until their last days. They are partnered and each have their own acres to live out their lives in.
By Sunday we had decided not to attend the show but to hit every antique and thrift store we could find. I believe we managed to spend the full day buying up every kind of antique and treasure we could get our hands on. We hope to make antique shopping in Spokane and the surrounding towns on the way home an annual event for us girls. We had way too much fun.
Even after leaving WA and entering back into OR we still found some antique stores to shop in. One lady even opened her shop just for us because she remembered us 'farmgirls' from two years prior in her store. Now that's what I call hospitality.
With the truck bed and back seat completely full we were back on the road and after 15 hours of stopping and shopping we got home in time to brush our teeth and hit the sack. I could barely feel my legs anymore. Now we must start planning our trip for next year.
