Dinner time…pulled pork, baked potatoes, corn, and cucumbers and tomatoes fresh picked from Prairie’s garden. Eaten on the patio, of course, with a rose also from Prairie’s garden.

Wow – I can’t remember the last time I saw this! Gotta love small town America parades. #McDonalds #ronaldmcdonald #grimace #thehamburglar

Waiting for the parade and peoplewatching. Bundled up against the freaking Ellensburg wind that simply will. not. stop. It’s cold out here!

Another fulfilled Kickstarter project arrived while we were gone: Ako Dice. I don’t even use dice all that much, I just really liked the design. One plastic glow in the dark set, one metal set.

Outside the Canadian Parliament, waiting for a free guided tour and listening to Queen Victoria (not as demised as rumored, apparently) tell us about the history of the area. #latergram
