Summer has just officially ended, not just because school has started back in session but because we just passed the Equinox on September 21st. Now is the time to go through my summer bucket list and assess how well we did which is another indicator for how much fun we had! We definitely didn't miss out on much this summer.

Charlie Hicks has been in the appliance industry for over 40 years. He honed his skills at Lee's Appliances in Burien, Washington since Lee was his father. Through this experience he learned more and more about appliance parts and repair. He is second generation and now his children have become young adults and they are joining him in the effort so it's moving into the third generation.

We did the Puyallup Fair this past weekend, the first item on my fall bucket list which coincided well with the first day of fall for us! Isn't it crazy that Washington State finally caught up to the greatness that is the Puyallup Fair and made it that starting next fall the Puyallup Fair will be THE Washington State Fair instead of just the Western Washington Fair? It's about time in my book!

I still have more planned for this fall, check out my list.
