My last three Thanksgivings have been spent with other missionaries.  One in Managua, Nicaragua and the last two in Walakitang, Nicaragua, a jungle village along the Rio Coco River.

This picture was taken at a local missionaries house in Managua.  Each year they host a turkey dinner for other missionaries living in the same area.  It was a great opportunity to just relax, talk, and share stories.

In the jungle the fare de jour was roast pig and rice & beans.  Our group bought a pig, which was brought up river in a canoe (if you can imagine that!) and cooked Kahlua style.  We got a little hunger and impatient so we ended up finishing up the cooking over the kitchen stove.  It was a tasty treat after many days of rice & beans!

This turkey picture, strangely, was taken in Nicaragua.  A watercolor of a turkey seemed odd decor, but whatever, it fits in here perfectly!

They have been great Thanksgivings, filled with adventure and fellowship, but I must say I am looking forward to spending this year at home with family.

Turkey is a favorite of mine and I can't wait for those turkey sandwiches to come!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It is a gorgeous day in Central Oregon!  For the second day in a row we can expect 70 degrees in mid November.  That is a special treat not to be wasted!  So what are the options?

• How about a strenuous hike up Misery Ridge at Smith Rock State Park?
• Or take the kids on a bike ride through Redmond's Dry Canyon.
• The Deschutes River Trail is a great place for either a hike or a low key mountain bike ride.
• For a little more adventure on the mountain bike, try the Tumalo Falls Trail at Tumalo State Park.

For those living in the area, it would be a great day to get the yard cleaned up for the winter.  For those visiting, try one of the options above and go play!

And if you haven't been to our beautiful Central Oregon area to explore all it has to offer, "What are you waiting for?"

In "Welcome to Autumn in Central Oregon - Your Personal Tour" I took you on a guided tour of how to spend a day in the  Redmond and Bend area.  I had so many great pictures to share that the tour was starting to get a bit longer than some might like to read.  So for those of you who would enjoy  more photographs of the local area, here they are!

I enjoyed taking them and I hope you will enjoy them too.

"Welcome to Autumn in Central Oregon - Your Personal Tour"

One of my favorite times of year has always been autumn.  The colors are so magnificent in many of our hometowns, and Central Oregon is no exception!  

So let me take you on a little tour and show you a few of my favorite places to visit.  Maybe you'll be convinced to take a trip of your own!

 Much of the city of Redmond is nestled in a valley and surrounded by nature's finest, including: the Ochoco Mountains, Smith Rock, Mt. Bachelor, and other members of the Cascade Mountain Range.  Our high desert area is truly a diverse one.

 Your trip to Redmond would not be complete without a stop by Dawson Station where you can enjoy lunch at the Mustard Seed Cafe, drop the family dog by Doggie Style to be groomed, check in with Raymond James for some financial advice, and when they give you the good news you can swing by Desert Sky Real Estate so I can help you pick out your new home!

 We can head to Winestyles of Redmond for a celebratory glass of wine and maybe pick up a book on decorating your new home from Shelf Life Books.  Just across the corner is the Hen's Tooth, an historic home recently converted to a home interiors and gift shop, and one of the most beautifully landscaped businesses in Redmond.    

Let's finish off our Central Oregon day at Drake Park in downtown Bend.  Now that the family pet has been beautified you can show him off to the many other dog lovers in the area while the kids run off some energy.

 Just a block away from Drake Park the options abound for shopping and dining.  A couple of local favorites are Merenda and Marz.  Or maybe the Deschutes Brewery better suits your tastes.  There are just too many choices to mention them all here!  Now lets head to Goodies for handmade chocolates or ice cream  for dessert. 

And, with all that fun under our belts, it's time to call it a day!  So what do you think?  Not only is Central Oregon a beautiful place to visit that offers variety enough to satisfy every taste, it's also an area of friendly people who would love to meet you. 

Plan your trip to check it out for yourself, and don't forgot to stop by Desert Sky Real Estate and say "Hi"!
