Having Fun

  We are enjoying ourselves here, started a line dance class using the park meeting hall.  Had around 10 people the first class.  Since the first class I have had five more that are coming to next one.  Some are locals from town and a few park rangers and their wives.  Have had decent weather this past week, all the snow is gone.  I have been busy with several projects, crochet, sewing, beading etc....most know I have to stay busy all the time.  Below are some pictures of my projects.  Had a nice Valentines anniversary (34years) went to dinner in town and Saturday going to play Bingo in another town close by.  Andrew is doing fairly well, he has low energy sometimes and tires easily. His lung capacity is holding at 65% now after using steroids for a couple months.  He liked it when he was on the steroids as it gave him a lot of energy and he felt like his old self.  Will talk to the doctor about possibly taking something once in awhile. He just hates that he can't do like he use to do. Some acceptance issues. He tries to be positive.
We are still waiting for Social Security, but looks hopeful. Also filed for VA disability since his condition is military related.  For those of you who know our experience there in Vegas with the VA, you will be happy to know we filed a TORT act against them for the medical attention they didn't give and in fact almost killed Andrew before I finally took him to civilian hospital.  That is going real well, in fact they contacted us and wanted copies of all the outside VA medical costs and hospital bills which are in excess of 80,000.00 or more.  Will see what happens there, we do know they are paying all the medical bills.  At any rate we are hanging in there.  Here are some pictures.

Closing Out the Year

     We are glad indeed to be at the end of 2015.  not one of our better years for sure.  We just wondered aimlessly this past year making one bad decision after another.  It seems since we had to leave Las Vegas when Andrew became sick we have been lost.  Our life was completely changed in a 6-8 month period very dramatically. It was very overwhelming for us and we had made good friendships and lasting bonds with people there in our community.  That was suppose to be our forever home.  Since leaving Vegas we have been to California, Oregon, Corpus Christie TX, Hawaii, and back to Oregon again. I am almost certain that we are home in Oregon to stay.  We may go for a few months in winter someplace but plan to stay here. We simply don't have the energy or desire to go again. At any rate we hope this next year graces us with stability and helps us to find our perfect spot here on the Oregon Coast to land.  We are looking to buy something here.  We have a couple things we are consideri

Summer Season

     Well we are off to a great summer here on the Oregon Coast! It has been a busy month for us as we moved from Ft. Stevens south to Tillamook county Park.  We have been enjoying the change and the park here, and an opportunity presented itself for us to manage another RV park close by also in Tillamook ( Wilson River RV Park ).  The park came under new ownership and he was given our names as somebody who could be his managers of the park.  We met with him last week and accepted the position.  The park has been neglected for the last year as it was being held by the bank and a property management company was overseeing the park.  Nothing a little elbow grease and few repairs can't fix.  It is a prime location for fishing and hunting as it sits right on the river, and of course there is all the attractions of the coast and Tillamook here as well.  We are excited for the challenge of this new adventure. We will miss our friends at the county park but will be close still to BBQ and

Our Plans are like Jello Sometimes it just doesn't set!

 We had a change of plans, and came to California where we decided to sell the motor home.  We didn't expect it to sell in two days time.  We arrived to San Clemente on the 1st of December and sold motor home on 3rd.  We rented an apartment in the downtown (1 block over from Main Street Del Mar) area close to the beach.  We had a great holiday with some of the family and Shawn was home also.  We are enjoying being close to family and our new great grand baby is absolutely adorable.  She is the happiest baby I've ever seen.  We have gotten all our medical appointments under way and scheduled and it feels good to be in one place settled again.  We're enjoying walking the beach everyday and all the little shops and restaurants.  Don't miss the motor home it was a lot of stress for us and after Drew's stroke was just too much to handle.  We did enjoy our trips through the summer and made good use of it.  So now we are in San Clemente for at least a year we signed a leas
