What's been going on......

Well Greg and I have been doing the annual physical/doctor appointments the past few weeks. We had to establish new doctors here in Yakima so it has taken a while to get in but we are just about finished and glad to get that out of the way.

The weather has really changed. In fact, this morning it is actually raining. It's kind of a nice change and we sure need it around here. Very, very dry time of the year. The leaves are turning slightly and starting to drop. The temperatures are dropping too. The expected high today is only 77 degrees. It's been running around 85 - 90 up until now. By Wednesday, it is supposed to be a high of 67 during the day and dropping down to 34 at night. So fall and winter are definitely on the way. Which makes me think of the holidays and the possibility of snow at Christmas. It probably sounds strange to many of you but I am actually looking forward to seeing some snow this year. Greg isn't too excited about it but I sure am. A white Christmas -how beautiful that would be.

Greg is fly fishing today. He headed up to Leech Lake this morning which is about 45 min to 1 hour from Yakima near White Pass. He fished this lake a couple of weeks ago and was successful so wanted to try his float tube out again before the weather turns much colder. The fishing is "catch and release" at Leech Lake so guess we won't be having fish for dinner. I am so glad he has found a place he can go to fly fishing. He really enjoys it!!

We have both been continuing on our quest for fitness. We both have been very consistent at working out 3 times a week and hoping it pays off soon. Actually, we are both starting to see some changes so we are happy about that.

We are looking forward to the holidays and time with family. Our trip south to Mexico will be here all too soon. I am sure we will be ready by January though.

Enjoy the changes autumn will bring us in the next few weeks. Monday, September 22 is the first day of autumn and we're looking forward to the change of colors here in the Yakima area.
