We were going to do a ‘selfie’, just to prove that we are both still here, and a woman offered to take the photo for us … which started a bit of a chain reaction of people getting people to take photos. There was a father and son travelling together to celebrate the son’s getting his Master’s degree in English, and we took photos of them with their camera (Dad’s) and smartphone (son’s).

Derick’s sister lived very close to Mount St Helens when it blew up . (Airforce base at Spokane ) so heard all about it. Have a great day xx

Yes, Mt St Helens erupted in 1980.Pat remembers hearing it from their place a few hundred kms north. He’s still a hunting man. It was good to see him and Gail again.
