Fall is in the air here in central Oregon. The evening temps have dropped dramatically over the past two weeks to the point where, for the first time in a year, I'm forced to wear long pants. Tragic, I know. Fortunately, we had the foresight to store our winter clothes at my brother's house.
The cooler weather and encroaching fall colors are not-so-subtle reminders that our summer is over and the time has come to return to Jean Marie and continue our cruising life. The long list of house projects is finally winding down, we have new tenants moving in next month, and we're starting to pack things up here.
Next week we'll make the long drive down to the Bay Area to visit friends before Millie and Colin depart for the Philippines. They fly out of SFO on October 23rd where they'll spend a month with family and attend the wedding of Millie's brother, Benny. I'll fly back to Mexico to break-in the engine after the recent rebuild and then sail north to Banderas Bay. I plan to pick them up at the airport in Puerto Vallarta later next month. It will be a busy time for all of us and I'm looking forward to reuniting for the holidays and finding some time to finally relax.
Although it went by way too fast, we had a great summer and really enjoyed the months here in Oregon. Now it's time to get back to warm weather, cold beers, and fresh tacos. I can't wait to put my shorts back on.
