Back to Sequim to get our hair cut and Tracy's perm. There just isn't anyone here in Port Townsend she trusts anymore. She had some bad experiences last Summer but has found a person she trusts over there. I meanwhile head for Super Cuts. Cut, cut, snip, snip and I'm done.
Sequim is about to celebrate the 114th Irrigation Festival in early May. It's the longest running festival in Washington state. Here's it's history straight from their website:
The Sequim Irrigation Festival celebrates the work that D.R. "Crazy" Callen and his partners did to design and develop the Irrigation Ditches that brought water from the Dungeness River to the parched prairie. The first headgate on the Dungeness River was lifted on May 1, 1895. On May 1, 1896 the first celebration took place at Crazy Callen's farm. This was the start of a tradition that would become the oldest continuing festival in Washington state. 2009 will be the 114th Sequim Irrigation Festival.
It just goes to show you that every community has it's own reason to celebrate.
Of course while there, a stop at Costco just can't be denied. At least this trip we went with a list of what we needed instead of just going up and down the aisles. It keeps the final bill a good bit smaller. It also works better since our space is quite restricted on Zephyr. It's pretty much down to if something comes on, something has to leave.
I stopped at Safeway to use their free WiFi. I can download all my updates for the computer without using up my allotment that Verizon gives me each month for my WiFi connection.
We made it back to Zephyr by 5:30 to a blustery, rainy, snowy night. There's more of the same on the schedule for today.
Have a great day everyone.
