FALL WEATHER

I’VE OFTEN SAID THAT THE WEATHER IS PERFECT EVERYWHERE IN OCTOBER. THAT’S HALF TRUE, IN THE DAYS WE SPENT AT HOME IN THE MIDWEST WE WERE USUALLY RUN OUT ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. IN THE MOHAVE VALLEY THE TEMPERATURE RUNS IN THE HIGH 90’S UNTIL THE SECOND HALF OF OCTOBER.

IN OUR QUEST FOR “SUNNY & 80” THE LAST FEW YEARS WE’VE SPENT ON SOUTH PADRE ISLAND IN TEXAS. THIS YEAR WE’RE SPENDING OCTOBER ON THE MOUNTAIN. SO FAR WE’VE LUCKED OUT WITH SUNNY AND 75 DEGREES IN THE AFTERNOON. WE ARE STILL IN SHORTS AND T-SHIRTS AND SITTING OUTSIDE ON THE PORCH.

TOWARD THE END OF THE MONTH MARY HAS US VISITING DAVE AND CINDY IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN TO WARM BACK UP TO SUMMER TEMPS. THEN IN EARLY NOVEMBER SHE HAS US BOOKED FOR A WEEK AT SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, BEFORE SHE GOES BACK TO CASINO WORK IN LAUGHLIN. IF WE FIND “SUNNY & 80” IN THE HIGH SIERRA MOUNTAINS OF CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA I’LL EAT MY SHORTS. I JUST HOPE WHEN IT SNOWS IT’S LESS THAN 6 INCHES.

ACTUALLY IT’S BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE WE’VE BEEN AT LAKE TAHOE AND WE ARE BOTH LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING SOME TIME THERE TO SEE WHAT’S CHANGED AND RECONNECT WITH SOME OF THE DEALERS WE WORKED WITH. OUR FRIENDS THE HUNTERS WILL BE IN A CONDO IN THE SAME COMPLEX SO I KNOW WE WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME.

WHEREVER YOU ARE I HOPE YOU’RE HAVING PERFECT OCTOBER WEATHER !!!
