Call me...on the line...call me anytime!
Doing some work from home today. Since I was just here 2 weeks ago, I am pretty much caught up with my trip planning and am helping out on tech support. I like talking with people from around the country, so it isn't that bad.
The in-laws are in town from California. My father-in-law loves it up here in Washington. He sees the same things I see. The surroundings are just beautiful and you can live in the country and be in the city in no time. My mother-in-law, surprisingly likes the cooler temperatures of the Pacific Northwest. I can kind of see what she means, after living in Arizona for 4 months, I welcomed the nice cool winter and spring we had this year. She has lived in California for 35 years, and all of that sunshine is great, but, having seasons is pretty great too.
I moved to California from NY and didn't miss winter (and still don't), but I did miss my favorite time of year which was fall. Cooler temps, leaves changing, Halloween, and just that strange feel to the air that the summer was over and the holiday season was just around the corner. California had a similar season that started in late November and went thru December. Not quite fall, but it had that same feel. We are in the throes of fall here in Washington and it is just fantastic. If you have never been to Washington, it is a great place to visit. Weatherwise, it is NY lite. No harsh winter, no over humid summer, just a mild cycle throughout the year. Word to the uninformed...it rains like a bastard from January to March. Be warned, if you come to visit during the rainy season..it, well, rains.
Anyhow, I have to get back to the phones.

You paint a lovely mental image. I can almost smell the leaves. We really must visit some day.
I love autumn, I think it's my favourite season. I love the colours and the smells and that golden light you get in the afternoons. I love the chill in the air in the morning. The only thing I don't like is when it gets dark earlier and earlier and you know winter is coming.
