Fred Meyer Gas

Went down to Main Street Sumner today and for the first time I can ever remember, there were open slots at the Fred Meyer gas station. Put in my Alaska Airline credit card and it asked for my ID. Put my WA State driver's license in and the pump would not accept it. The pump said I had to go pay at the station, so I went there and the man asked me how much gas I wanted; I didn't know.

He offered to help me and walked to the pump with me. He said run your Fred Meyer club first, then the credit card, I did, he smiled and said approvingly, you just saved .03 a gallon.

Gosh, people in Sumner tend to be really nice and I really appreciate that. Have to go away for a week, but then we get three weeks in the Bonney Lake/Sumner area.

Beautiful day, Kathy and I went down to the lake, got some sun which is not a guarantee in Washington at this time of the year and we just saw an eagle. The Cottonwoods are starting to blow cotton and it was landing in the lake. I was thinking, this is going to foul the lake, but just then a mother duck with her ducklings came by and we realized they were eating all the cotton out of the water. God really knows how to create a planet!
