Summer is swiftly coming to an end - too soon, too soon! At least as far as I am concerned. Michaela is very much looking forward to fall.
Lots of kayaking these last few months!
We did some serious paddling...
...but there were also some Zen moments while out on the water.
Corie and Jody visited us in July for some delicious tacos at 'Love and Hominy'.
Larissa...
...and Joe had a great BBQ.
A little board game fun was had, too.
We celebrated our anniversary at the 3 Rivers.
Breakfast at the Riverside.
Plenty of windsurfing!!
I needed a board more suited for stronger winds than my trusty JP and Terry was looking to sell one of his 'glass boards'...I got a good deal!
And then my JP finally gave out after 16 years. Morgan had a spare he was willing to part with - I got another good deal 😁
Instead of re-installing our 'commercial grade' dog bath, Skittles is now getting her baths in Rayne's bathroom.
We got the neighborhood gang together for some traditional German sausages!
We agreed we should do this every year now.
Larissa and Joe visiting after a hike on Mt. Hood.
We have a Disc Golf park less than a 5 minute walk from home.
Had to try that, of course!
Helen invited me to her group's annual BBQ despite my 'alumni' status. I couldn't miss that!
Brady retired in October 2026 - we had fun comparing notes.
Catching up with old friends - good times!
As the days get shorter, we installed some lighting in the front yard.
Very pretty!
