Virtual Savor the San Juans
If COVID-19 is teaching us anything, it’s a reminder of the importance to stop and savor the moment. In the San Juan Islands, we’ve been doing just that every fall for the last 12 years with “Savor the San Juans” – an opportunity to celebrate the food, farms, and films in the archipelago. This year COVID has changed the way we do things, so you can Savor the San Juans from home. The first week (Oct. 5, 7, & 9) is Farm Tour week with glimpses behind the barn doors of Pebble Cove Farm, OrcaSong Farm, and Buck Bay Shellfish Farm. The second week (Oct. 12, 14, &16) is Fall Baking week, with recipes and cooking classes from Otters Pond B&B and Tucker House B&B. The third week (Oct. 19, 21, & 23) is Fall Cooking Week, with a how-to from Westcott Bay Shellfish Farm and a few more folks TBD. And the final week (Oct. 26, 28, & 30) is Wine Tasting Week, with Doe Bay Wine Company, Lopez Vineyards, and Madrone Cellars & Ciders. Times are TBD.

I thoroughly enjoyed my summer break in Maine! My lovely niece, Tay, planned her wedding for high season in Boothbay Harbor. My daughter was her “Matron of Honor” (do we really use the word “matron” anymore?) so it was fun to travel with Alexandra and her husband, Mike, and my grandboy, 7 months old! While I was traveling for personal reasons, I just had to take a little extra time and check out the area, right? I also met up with old friends. I love meeting up with old friends and finding out it is as though no time has passed! What could be better? Old friends are a true gift.
