26. We lived not too far from you!

That is a lot of years ago and many homes since then, but we were living in a duplex on NW North St., I think (not far from the water tower at the top of the hill). My husband lived in Anthony Hall apartments before we got married. Small world! We were going to go to the Renaissance Fair in Moscow, and I remember being angry at the weatherman because I could see what I thought were dark storm clouds coming from the west. It was a good thing we stayed home because when the ash started falling from the sky, we had no idea what the next few days would be like. I remember wondering if we would see the sun the next day as it was as dark as night in the daytime. The bad side was my mother-in-law got stuck with us for a week having come down from Spokane to see the baby!! Do you ever go back to Pullman? We went to the WSU-Colorado game last year. We were ahead until the last 7 seconds. Hopefully, the Cougars will do better this year.
