Updates...or... Planes, Trains, and Automobiles...Oh My!

Well, we haven't fallen off the face of the earth but sometimes it feels that way. I have been away from home for the last three weeks other than a brief stop back home to change clothes and head out for two weeks.

Sue and I have had some great adventures since our last post. We had a wonderful vacation to New Jersey to visit Tina, Felipe, and the girls. Check out Tina's blog for some great stuff. Sue will be updating our blog for me in the very near future so stay tuned. Raquel and Mila are such good girls...we had a blast with them for the week.

I have been given the responsibility to be the General Manager for our Oregon plant in Lebanon, Oregon, in addition to my responsibilities as the General Manager for my Utah plant. This is causing me to be away from home a lot more frequently. Sue has been so supportive of this. The extended travel will continue through January than I will fall into some regular schedule of going up there  for  a week every 4-6 weeks. Lots of good people up there, but ti's definitely a "turnaround" situation, so not as comfortable for some folks as they would like.

I live in a mini suite and have grown accustomed to not only talking to myself...but answering....gosh....I never knew what a fun and interesting guy I could be....hahahahahaha. The weather in Lebanon is "soupy miserable" 95% of the time. Annie, it was even to gloomy and rainy for me, and like you, I love the dark, cloudy, and rainy days.

It was nice to come home and "reconnect" with Sue. We hibernated most of the weekend and just enjoyed each others company. I found out that I really love our house too....a lot! It helped me realize what a special area that we live too.

I'm home for two weeks then off again for two weeks then home through Christmas. We're looking forward to Thanksgiving and having some of the family over to help us celebrate.

Hope all is well with everyone else....we'll try to do a better job of keeping this up but I've seriously been scrambling for even an extra minute of time. When I'm in Oregon, my day starts at 6am and finishes up around 8pm....it's all good though....I usually have tons of energy.

Until the next time...happy blogging to all and to all a good night :)
