Fall Colors Starting To Appear (along with Elvis)...

It just keeps getting better up here - the weather has been beautiful and the trees are just starting to turn color.


We had a great night at Reach Harbour Marina... it was their 18th Annual Roast & Toast party. It was a family-friendly event, with face-painting and pizza for the kids, happy hour and a nice roast beef meal for the grown ups. The theme was Elvis/50s/60s... there were poodle skirts, tie-dye t-shirts, and a lot of cigarette packs rolled up in t-shirt sleeves. The Elvis impersonator was pretty good... until he talked between songs... with his English accent. There was also a young rock band that alternated sets with "Elvis"; those kids were good. I can tell I'm getting older: my ears are still ringing this morning.


We were fortunate to get tickets to this shindig... they were sold out, but one of the guys we met earlier on this trip, Bill (this is his home marina), found someone who had to cancel... right place, right time.
