Notes from Bentucky

There's this little village in a southeastern Washington river valley that is like so many others...so many others that are hidden jewels. Benton City has garnered the name "Bentucky" because it is considered backwards by the raised noses of the near-by communities. We like it that way. It's "Back Home in ol Bentucky" to the strings of mandolins, banjos, fiddles, dulcimers, guitars and the like. Take off your cufflinks and other puffery and join us!

Vacationing in NW Washington

I just returned from a week at our TrendWest condo at Birch Bay and am well-pleased with the experience. It's such a laid back community up there. I thought the Tri-Cities area was small town, but after gettin in a few days up there, my wife (Mary) and I learned that this area is a frantic nut house by comparisson.

A most notable side trip for us was to Bellingham where we experienced the Museum of Radio and Electricity. It's located in the downtown area with the local over-the-hill hippie shops. The museum was far more than I had expected. It has truely Smithsonian level exhibits and shouldn't be misssed if you have the chance.
