Dog Days of Summer



 June-September

Seems summer is going by faster than the tumbleweeds would when I was growing up in the desert.

It is hard to say what we have been doing so far but I do know we have been spending some time playing, hanging out in Cascade, fly fishing, golfing, walking Izzy, running Izzy, and everything in between!

Steve decided to sell his motorcycle that traveled all over the country and Canada with us and upgrade to a little bigger one that is more of an adventure bike. He has been having fun outfitting it so he can do short overnight trips in the back country. So far he managed to forget his tent on his maiden camping trip! Quite a bit different than traveling around in the fifth wheel!

Not Too Shabby

We did make it northern Idaho to visit family friends of Steve’s. We were in Kingston and Kellogg for several days and I got to meet the guy who hooked Steve on fishing. Randy was fun to meet and his wife Carol and they enjoyed catching up. Marilyn, Randy’s Mom, lives at the place where Steve went when he was a little boy for vacations during the summer. I can see why the family moved from Riverside California to here as it is gorgeous country.

We managed to get in one float trip to dust off our fly fishing rods. The day was bright and sunny and fishing a bit slow, although Steve did manage to catch several fish along with George. I decided to simply practice my casting until we were almost done. I proceeded to catch the biggest fish of the day. Granted it was the only fish I caught!






We have played golf a couple of times and took in a car show. Some pretty cool looking cars and a motorcycle caught our attention. Of course it would have been hard to choose which car to take home so we decided to not buy any of the ones for sale!

Now it is October! Fall colors are all around us and the weather has certainly turned from the dog days of summer to the cooler temperatures at night. We did sell our beach bungalow in Florida so we will see if we can manage to stick out the colder weather as the season progresses to winter.

We have a few projects planned to keep our skills refreshed. I won’t go into details here as that would ruin the surprise of the next update from SIT! So you better stay tuned!
