Still No Pix

My computer is still pretty messed up, making for some headaches.  Katie's high fever, etc. was diagnosed as the flu (did not expect that in June) but she is now on antivirals and doing somewhat better. Finished reading a nonfiction book this week about the Dust Bowl in the Great Depression - the book "The Worst Hard Time" was greatly depressing, but Karen and I both found it interesting enough that we might travel throught the panhandle area on the way back to Peoria.  Today we went to Walnut Creek again to poke around on the aforementioned rock slide now that they opened it to the public.  LOTS of Inoceramus shells.  We saw a blotched water snake, which is nonpoisonous (unlike the coral snake Kris saw elsewhere a couple months ago).  For supper we went to a Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant - it was fun, we ate at one in Seattle many years ago. We are packing a little for the move back, but have a long way to go.
