busbyfreyblog: The Report From Granite Falls

Here it is, mid-October??? and the full moon has passed over us as of last night, the Salmon are spawning, leaves dropping with the temps, leaving the long warm summer days but a memory. And Now, Amaya is really excited about the candied prospects of Hallow's Eve--and we owe her a few decent ones after so much time in transit this past year. We've spent the last few months living it up in Granite Falls, WA---T's hometown. We've been loving "The Canyon" where T's Mom and Dad live, offering us plenty of feasts, comfortable houses, and so many recreational opportunities within a short drive. But I've been getting Emails from estranged associates on the check in: Too busy to blog this summer? Living off the radar? Detached from the grid? Witness Protection Program? Someone even asked if we'd "gone native." HA! Not exactly, but anonymity does has certain benefits... After spending much of the past year in tropical, desert, or otherwise warm weather (where the climate suits my clothes), and with this striking influx of cold dank dark weather systems, its time to change course, up-date this blog, return to the law practice, and more regular infusions of income for the family. After all, Retirement is never what its sczhuck up to be!
