Picking up Barry!

I was up early this morning so I could pick up Barry at the Portland airport.  This is the view of the control tower from the cell phone waiting area.  I kept hoping for a plane to take off or land for my blog picture but it never happened.  After I picked up Barry we headed North and stopped in Centralia at Papa Pete's for lunch.  Their pizza is much better now, they have the regular pizza ovens instead of the broiler type one they had at first.  We had a nice visit during the trip and over lunch.  It was sad to hear that Pooper their rabbit had passed away, they have had him about ten years and he traveled all over the US with them in the motor home.  Once Barry was settled at home and had the PT Cruiser running I headed toward the hobby shop.  I found a few things I needed and one I didn't but I got it any how.  I had a nice time talking with the owner Thom and then I went to Costco.  I picked up a few things there, got gas and headed home.  I stopped in Centralia and visited Marie for a few minutes, she had just had her hair done and was in a good mood.   I spent fifteen or twenty minutes with her before continuing on home.
