Washington Day 4,5,and 6

These past three days have been crazy ,and full of nothing but a reminder I really do have people that care about me here. Monday,Teddy, Teddys friend Don, mom, and I drove from Tacoma to Yakima. We brought Jimmy John sandwiches to the house for everyone. Then after mom ,  Teddy ,and Don went back to Tacoma, Devi and Melanie came over.  Not too soon after that we ended up going to see Becky and shortly after, we went to  Red Robin for dinner.  Aside from the new businesses and houses in the area, it was like I never left.
Tuesday, Melanie and I ended up at Northtown coffee with Beckys daughter Penny while Becky was at an appointment. Then we got dad and had lunch at Mel's Diner.  Later on that evening we went to the Appletree Golf course with Devi. Then Devi treated me to baskin Robbins ice cream, and I ended up watching the Mariners baseball game at home.
Yesterday, I ended up getting a tour of the community television station here in Yakima. Dad was supposed to film a show, but the guest never showed up so the hosts of the show just interviewed Melanie and I for fun off camera.
I am convinced now Melanie needs a camera . Melanie can talk intelligently about any subject she is passionate about ,  has a good personality,  and can talk as long as you need or want her to. That's all you need.😊
After the t.v. station, we ended up taking a quick trip to the Yakima museum because Melanie's family has an exhibit there for having three generations of military service. After the museum, Becky and Carol came over for a little bit. Dad and I ended up joining them at Mel's diner. After dad and I got back, my dad , grandpa, and uncle talked for a little bit. We ended up talking about what we liked for breakfast. Next thing I knew, my Uncle Richard got out a box of bananna nut muffin mix and  funfetti. We made the muffins together , so now we have bananna nut muffins waiting for us in the morning -yeah! 😃
All this fun makes it hard to leave. 😔   But I know, I need to get back to my life in San Antonio. It's time to get back to Scott, my job , and everything else. I am just glad this time I came here on a better note, and I got to let my grandpa, dad and everyone here finally see where I am on my fitness journey.  It means a lot they are proud of where I am now especially since they lived with me before I even started my journey, and it definitely can't be years between visits. But I am glad to know that everyone here loves and supports me no matter where life takes me.  I am blessed everyone  I saw here during my quick time in Yakima is part of my life.
