30 something August 2008,
Another month has ended- how come the summer months go so fast and the winter months creep by? To be honest, while the rest of you in other places are still warming your toes, we have been experiencing fall weather for a couple of weeks. Rain, clouds, multi color leaves hitting the ground...The summer was over a few weeks back...It is sad.
I have been working on gearing up for a busy fall season, which includes looking back and improving on my knowledge of all my schools- and the locations in all 4 states. I am amazed at how much I have learned- yet so far to go...One of my most unpleasant jobs is updating my customer database and so maintaining it with accurate info has been my imperative before sampling, visits, conferences...the fall season approaches.
After more than a couple of hours on the computer, I am ready to kill myself, so despite gloomy weather predictions, I saddled up for the Oregon Coast. I was fairly convinced it would be warm there. After all the state is flatter, and always sunny. You may be laughing, but as someone who lives in Washington, I am convinced it is sunny wherever I am not (Oregon).
For once- I was right! I had three fairly sunny days on the beach. The sounds of the waves was enough to trick myself it was still summer, and it was so relaxing. The hills were crazy, but I think I shall return to the entirely protected Oregon coast someday soon. Every section seems to be a state reserve and the camping was only $4 and included hot showers!
