Almost Labor Day

Today was filled with prep on Julia's employment application and getting the kiddos essential shoes and clothing to start the school year off right. Max was way excited to get a pair of Sketchers shoes. So too was Doug about his Oregon colored hoodie (olive green), and Bridget about her new pink terry cloth hoodie.

The fire seems to be moving off to the NE. The locals do not seemed too concerned, though the husband and wife team who run reception for the RV park are on 20 minute stand-by for the fire department. We watched the Bend evening news at 6 PM, and it barely got a mention. Folks were more concerned with hurricane Felix--that certainly will have minimum impact on the locals.

Today was also a day for introspection. Family and friends, we know how disappointing it is that we are not living as close to you as you would like. We miss you too, but we also know this is where we need to be for now.

Hope all is well in your part of the country and thanks for caring enough to let us know you care about how this venture turns out.

Hoodies, eh? I guess that's a plus for Sisters - Around here, the kids can't wear hoodies in school.

We're so glad you got the house, it's beautiful! We're looking forward to school starting tomorrow (at least I am). Keep us posted on the job opportunities--what an exciting new start!

Welcome to Or-y-gun, Huni's!

You'll be receiving your official state-issued bicycles, wine making kits and umbrellas shortly.

The fires will subside around the first part of October.

Tekla is just over the pass from you, so visit her often. They have a hot springs near by.

Sisters is a very nice place. You should like it there.
