From Spring back to Winter for a couple of weeks

I didn't get to posting on Monday, it was a busy week. I did take these photos during the cold and wet week it has been.
I guess the 'Ninio' took a break so a more normal weather pattern was able to work down from the North for last week and is predicted for most of the next. Last Monday was snowy and cold. It turned out to stay cold and off and on snowy or rainy the entire week. So much for Spring!

Middle photo shows another group of clouds looking East from town.

Last photo shows the results in the Cabinet mountains of the mid-week snowfall.

Hopefully this next week we'll find out for positive if Stacy gets bumped up to the "chief" position or not. She's been really stressing over it for weeks now. They really don't have a better choice than Stacy since she's already been doing her and much of the bosses job almost since she started working there. The current Chief leaves at the end of this month so they should have made a decision by now if it was going to be anyone from the 'outside'! When it became public knowledge about the upcoming vacancy, all of the sudden all these people came out of the woodwork inquiring about their chances at the job.
Stacy will be traveling the next two weeks for some state stuff. One day this next week and two days the following week.
Sandy is working hard at the preparations for her "half marathon" next month in Santa Barbara. She's been running a lot and going on local events in her area. She is supposed to be running on a mini marathon this weekend.
Well, I'll try to get back on tract for posting next Monday!

Just an update

It is getting more like fall to winter now in our area. All the weather forecasts give the possible snow levels and altitudes in the recordings. The temps have been in the low 50's for the past week which is the normal temp range. It has warmed up at night to the low thirties from the low twenties of last week and earlier this week. Next week it's forecasting only low to mid forties! For the high temps! In looking at photos and the older blogs, last October 27th, 2009, was the first snow of the season back then. Will it snow around the same time this year? Stacy and I are both off work next week because our daughter Laura and her son, the only grand kid so far, will be flying out this Sunday for a weeks visit. Stacy and I are really looking forward to the visit. Last time Laura was here was in the summer of 2006 for a couple of weeks. Quite a lot has changed in her little family since then! And Tyler is 4 years old now so he might do more than sleep or cry as he did last visit!...

Its Fall again!

Although the date this says 'posted' is from a while back, I'm online to type about theses photos and get this posted for you to see today, October 12th! I'd uploaded these and the next post couple of photos fully intending to get right back to it in a day or so, it just didn't happen like that. Stacy's father took a trip to California to visit family out there and since he was gone (he's getting back tomorrow night) we've been very busy working at home as well as stuff going on at work. So it's been busy, busy, busy! Stacy left this morning to fly to Boise for meetings (again!) and will be back late tomorrow too. On to these photos; top one is actually on our property, just out back in the forest. The fern was just going yellow to gold then, on this fall morning, it is really golden and rust browns now just a couple of weeks later. Middle photo is a road a little over a mile away in the early evening that I liked with the late day sun on the Aspen ...

I can't say I'm on a roll just yet, but here's a new post!

So, to continue with last weeks story. In August, Stacy finally got the trailer she's been wanting all along. Yes, while I like the larger, around 28 to 30 foot or so, RVs, Stacy has kept the idea that smaller is better. Smaller can go pretty much anyplace you'd want to camp and our 5th wheel, at 34-feet long, while it can go most places, it can't go 'anyplace' due to the length. When we got the 5th wheel in July 2017, I was surprised Stacy was willing and even suggested, we go for it trading in our 33-foot travel trailer to get the Jayco. Again, the "Wildcat Maxx" was a nice travel trailer. It had made several short and two long trips in the almost two years we'd owned it. We lucked out as in an era of the rapid assembly to make the crazy sales numbers the RV industry has been having, the Wildcat was "completed on a Wednesday by happy Amish at the factory" as we didn't have any of the build issues I still read about from the appar...

Our updates for all of you
