Cruising into Fall

September to November 2017

It is hard to believe that Fall is almost over and I am just now letting you know what SIT has been up to. Oh well, I am sure most of you are in the same boat!  Speaking of boat, we didn’t have any luck fishing the great Cascade Lake this past summer. I guess we wanted to make sure there will be plenty of fish for everyone next year.

Scott (Steve’s brother) came to Cascade for a week and enjoyed the quiet mountain community. He was traveling around a bit after seeing the eclipse in Wyoming.

We did enjoy the time spent in the small community, but the trailer is tucked away for the season. We will be sure to get it out when the spring is blooming and head some place.

We were able to see our great niece for the first time. She is Steve’s nephew’s daughter and such a cutie. I managed to take a few pictures when she was a happy baby! If you ask her Mom she is a joy all the time!

We ended up having a maple tree removed from the backyard. It grew faster than our tomatoes ever do and was blocking other plants. So we left the stump fairly high and have plans on carving a bird house. Maybe next year I will have a cool picture to show you.

The rest of the time we were getting things taken care of around the house and spending time with friends and I was able to see my cousin Amy. She had a business meeting in Boise so we enjoyed getting caught up. I also made a short trip with my friend Bobbe to Featherville. It was a beautiful day and a neat place to check out.

We managed to stick to our schedule to head to our winter beach bungalow the first of November. The trip across country was uneventful but our first day out we were treated to some pretty cool looking clouds.

Invasion

Once we arrived we had to deal with damage to the ceiling from hurricane Irma. We had lost the roof to our place and ended up with some water damage inside. It’s a good thing we don’t shy away from fix-it projects!  We have the living room, dining area, and hall completed. The kitchen is left to tackle which we plan on getting done before Christmas.

You might be wondering what we will do when that is over. Don’t worry as I have rooms to paint and more ceiling work! Oh and we need to play golf and fish some too.

I will end here for now but don’t go too far away as the next event I will tell you about was our first ever cruise!

Take care and will connect soon - SIT
