The Long way home!

We went up this morning to visit Marie, when we got there, we found out she had fallen a couple of days ago and cracked a rib.  The staff is keeping a close eye on her, three people showed up to check on her while we were there.  When another visitor showed up, we left and stopped by Bob's for a nice visit.  As we were leaving, we mentioned that we were going to the Berry Fields Cafe for lunch.  Bob told us that the building used to be the Elks lodge when he was Exalted Ruler.  He told us about how it was laid out when the Elks were there.  It sure made our lunch a lot more interesting knowing the history of the building.

When we finished lunch and headed home, it was such a nice afternoon that we took a little longer way home.  We took 603 through Napavine to Winlock, it was pretty drive with lots to look at.  The picture of the barn at the beginning was taken during that part of our trip.  At Winlock, we took the Winlock Vader road to Vader, we drove around Vader a little and I took this picture of two house that were an older style.  One is fixed up nicely, the other is pretty run down.

I also took a picture of what appears to be the business district of Vader, not much left there now.  From Vader, we went down the Westside Hwy. to Castle Rock, picked up the mail and went home.  It was a very pleasant ride home
