Day 7 - Spokane

Happy 4th of July.

We got the balcony all arranged and it turned out well. I guess I do pretty well arranging flower pots. :) Concern over what was really in the storage locker caused another search for missing keys -- they were not to be found but my uncle had an extra set. We got that all situated and it was time for another 'short' walk. Today we went to the John Finch Aboretum and even though the weather has not been perfect, the walk among all those trees was very nice. This walk was only a mile and a half!!

It was dinnertime for my aunt, so my cousin and I went in search of a restaurant that would be open on the 4th. We ended up at Huckelberrys (think Whole Foods grocery) and had a nice meal and a glass of wine. She dropped me off at my aunt's and the two of us watched the Capitol Fourth on TV which she thoroughly enjoyed -- around 10:00 here the local fireworks began. The gun noises kind of spooked my aunt so I had her get up and we were able to watch the 'show' from her living room.
