A quick analysis of the title reveals our location. The last two weeks of our trip deserve a more adequate description than previously given. When we arrived in Wenatchee, we spent three nights living in a nursing home with Grandma Fishbourne. It was a great time, complete with 7:30 breakfast dates. The first Saturday there we landed an invitation to a wedding of a family that we would get to know over the next few weeks. Most succinctly described, it was Grandma Fishbourne's family. Grandma has 7 children (all now in their 40's, 50's and 60's). The wedding was of her Granddaughter Katie to a guy named Danny. I must admit it was a bit strange b/c Katie is not yet 21 (a few months shy). But at the wedding I danced with family as if I was on in the same. Apparently a girl in the family (the sister of the one newlywed) was taken aback by me. Too bad she is 16. Perhaps in the future we will marry and I too may join the Fishbourne descendants.
We then worked for two weeks for a couple named Aubrey and Austin(Aubrey is a grandchild of Grandma Fishbourne) in Ellensburg, WA. Austin broke his foot a couple weeks ago and needed help to finish renevating a house that he has been working on and is and preparing to sell. So we painted, did yard work, put in an irrigation system and did various tasks around the house to spruce it up. During the two weeks we lived with Aubrey and Austin and their two kids Kaelynn (3 yrs ) and Halle Mae (5 1/2 months) . We got to know the family really well and had an amazing time living with them. It turned out to be harder to leave than we originally thought possible. The stay seemed to last but a few days but it seems like we've known the family for longer than a mere two weeks. We then went to Seattle and had an amazing dinner and were honorary firefighters for a day as we rode the Lake Washington on a fireboat and waved to the people ashore.
