Agh! How can summer be winding down if I haven’t hiked to Doris Lake yet?  Best swimming hole in the Cascades.   At this time of year the mosquito’s are so bad that you have to spend your time IN the water, but it’s worth it… will post a pic when we hike it…

For now, I’m enjoying working hard and helping people buy/sell their homes.  It’s been a year since we came off our 19 month adventure and none of us can believe it.  The time has flown by.  The kids are thrilled to be back with their friends, our old church, and our beautiful Bend.  We’re all settled in a new house, although there are still many boxes left to unpack, and a backyard to be landscaped.  Great to be near their high school, but very strange to hear all the sounds of the city.  We are definitely blessed.

So here’s my favorite house I’ve been trying to sell – it’s a 3600 sq’custom build, right on the Deschutes River, above Pringle Falls.  As we head into fall, the fly fishing from the river bank will be incredible.  Yes, it feels like fall and that’s a good thing!
