Hi All,

It's October....so soon...and feels like Fall is really here!! I'm going to the AAMFT Conference in Long Beach next week, and it's going to be in the 70's...yeah!!! Saw Jason, Alisha, Lindsay and a co-worker from Greater Lakes (Brad) at Cheryl's party Friday...missed Susanne and Christopher, darn. Did anyone else go? Food was good, Cheryl was cute, David was sweet...I told him I saw him get emotional...what was that about, David?? Roy and Cheryl are both getting awards at the Conference. Guess I might have to spring for the dinner.

I am still making baby steps toward establishing a practice. Jason and I might have a lead on office space in December, and if not that, perhaps I will find another space to share. Working on a name/concept, then get the business license, cards, website, etc. I got the forms from AAMFT, insurance through the AAMFT website, have talked to a supervisor, but haven't started yet, as I don't have clients.

Bob and I went to Montana for an old friend's birthday, actually combined with her mother's 90th birthday. It was at a hot springs resort, 4 large hot pools...very civilized, not at all rustic. We took a scenic side-trip on the way home and ended up on 35 miles of dirt road along a large creek/river, saw a moose, lots of fly-fishermen, snow in the hills, just beautiful. Bob got some great photos, but then his computer crashed, so he's lost about 4 years of photos, plus all his investment spreadsheets. He is bummed!! Still trying to get data off the hard-drive.

Still taking Spanish, and loving it. Also doing another Indian lodge class with Grandmother. Working a few catering jobs in Seattle for my friend who has a catering business..The Savory Gourmet. Reading, watching "The War" on PBS, plus all my favorite prime time soaps, making jewelry, knitting.

Hope all goes well.

Have fun in Virginia, Janett.

Megan, what's up?

Glad Susanne is feeling better.

Mitch and Deanna are expecting a girl...what else can I blab about?

I'm glad Margie is back in Washington so she can enjoy all this rain!
