October

Hello all -

Hard to believe that today is November 1. I haven't had the chance to update this with our October adventures...time has been flying by!

We enjoyed a beautiful October - My parents came to visit for a week the first week of the month. We had a great time, despite the serious fall rains that returned to Jawbone that same week. North country poker games were shared with the Jawbone crew, many delicious meals cooked, and some rainy hikes were enjoyed. A few shots of poker (we moved the special poker table to my parent's cabin) and my folks and I at the gate during the rains.

We also got over to Bend for a night, and caught up with some friends. Joe and I at dinner:
Joe and I got back over to Bend a couple of weeks ago too. We were pretty tied up with dental issues, but did get a chance to hike through Tumalo Valley, our old backyard. It was a beautiful day, the aspens were awesome, and we had a great hike. Here's a couple shots of the valley and one of Murphy and I having some roadside hellos.

Hope you are all doing well. I just returned from a few days in the San Juan islands and now we are busily winding down our season and getting ready for winter supply runs. Life is good, we continue to find ourselves in beautiful places with fabulous people.

We love and miss you all! Hope to see you soon.

Much love, Katie and Joe
