Come Sail Away

I can't believe how quickly the summer has passed.  It has been filled with so many incredible adventures including two road trips to San Francisco, my lovely sister and her daughter visiting in Portland, my daughter about to arrive, and a road trip to Seattle.  I have done such a variety of activities that I feel ready for another year of teaching to begin.  I always feel a bit sad when the long summer days begin to shorten but at the same time, I'm ready for another season to arrive.

Come Sail Away

Last night I went on a cruise on the Willamette River.  We could hear the Blues Festival going strong on the banks of the river and watched the sun set.  I have to say that I had forgotten how nice it is to be in a boat and watch the world go by.  I need to do that more often!  It's a great feeling to watch the world go by. Like a ship launching off from the shore, I feel changes in the air.
